brick collection 5


Joint: Raked
Size: 22.5cmX7.5cmX11cm
Bond: Strecher
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.





Joint: Grooved
Size: 22.5cmX7.5cmX11cm
Bond: Strecher
Colour: red, black, yellow
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.
