brick collection 3



Joint: Raked
Size: 22.5cmX7.5cmX11cm
Bond: Strecher
Colour: Red, Dark Red
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.



Joint: Weather Struck
Size: 22.5cmX7.5cmX11cm
Bond: English
Colour: Red, Yellow, black.
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.
