The surface texture of the brick is rough and bad since the shapes of the bricks are not uniform, the colour of a brick is not uniform as well. However, this building has used different colours of the bricks and different alignment of the brick to decorate the wall. Moreover, it also painted the bricks to optimize its appearance.
The brick of the wall could be structural because the wall is exterior and tall, it is required to sustain the building. Additionally, the wall is relatively thick and therefore proves that the bricks are structural.

The surface texture of the brick is rough but looks like its roughness is made intentionally. The scratches on the bricks do not seem to be existed by corrosion or damage because the scratches are deep. Therefore, it becomes a characteristic since bricks are sculpted with patterns. Moreover, the application of different colours of the bricks would also decorate the brick wall. The bricks on the exterior wall is structural because exterior walls are required to sustain the building.

Colour: Red, Dark redThe surface texture of the brick is not very smooth, and this could be due to its age. What this construction interested me is the rhombus shape made by bricks on the wall. This shape is constructed by two bricks stick in different direction with other two brick and then implements a small brick to fulfill the gap in the middle. The wall is not structural because this wall stands independently from the main construction.

The surface texture of the brick is considered to be rough because bricks are partially damaged or corroded and hence sizes are varied.
What this building attracted me is the shape of the roof, and they are implemented by brick. It has well decorated the building and if this building is built with a regular shape of the roof it would be a very normal construction.
The brick on the exterior wall may be structural because the wall is thick.

The surface texture of the bricks is smooth and of high quality because the bricks have sharp angles, little impurities and uniform colour. The bricks of the building was not very special but the shape of the whole building is interesting and the use of this kind of bricks have a good correspondence with other building elements such as glass and concrete to interpret the class of the apartment.

The surface texture of the bricks is relatively rough and are not in exactly the same dimensions. The feature of this building is that they apply bricks to decorate the building such as they implied vertical alignment of bricks on the garage. Moreover, the rooms are extended of the exterior wall and its bottom is curving in. The bricks of the sides of the garage are structural because they are the only support to the garage.

The surface texture of the bricks is smoother than the previous two buildings. The feature of this building is that all the curatives walls, the cylindrical pillars and the balcony are all built in bricks only. The bricks on pillars could be structural because they sustain the balconies.

The bricks texture of the building may be rough because it has a lot of different colours and the shapes of the bricks are not exactly the same.
The building has a feature that its roof is also made of bricks. This is not very common on other buildings.
The wall may on the picture may not be a structural wall because it is not as thick as the wall in previous building while these two buildings has almost the same height (i.e. similar weights).
The building also has a pointed arch with different colours to make the window more interesting. However, this feature may cause some defects of the building because the roof may be too heavy if it consists of bricks.

The bricks may be the FBA type because they have different colours and inaccurate sizes. Therefore, it might be sand-strucked brick and has Medium smooth texture.
The brick is considered to be structural because it has many layers of bricks on the wall and it is the exterior wall. The building also has an segmental arch and flat gauged arch to optimize the appearance of the building.

The surface texture of the bricks is rough because the the colour of a brick is not pure and the surface of the brick is not flat.
The building implies different alignments of the brick to decorate it. For example, by using different alignments, the shape of the building is outlined, the windows are as if covered with frames. The bricks of the outside walls are structural because the walls are thicker than inner walls. This is an evidence that these walls are required to sustain more weight than others.

Bricks as image-1

This building has applied 3 different kinds of bricks on it. To enhance the support might be the reason that they have used a larger size of brick on the top of the U-shape windows. Moreover, it improves the aesthetic of the building by applying different sorts and colours of the bricks. Different method of aligning the bricks have also made the building look better.

This could be a more modern brick building as the above example. It has applied a large amount of small white bricks as its main body of the building with modern style of windows. Although it has applied a classic style of brown bricks onto its building as decoration, the building is still sit in harmony.
