Project 3: Bricks as Image Example 3-4

Example 3


Location: Kensington, Residential Building
Bond: Stretcher (A pattern made using only stretchers with the joins in each row centred on the bricks in the row below)
Jointing: Flush
Surface texture: Smooth
Structural/Non-structural: Structural (Bricks are made as wall to support the building)
Colour/s: Brick-Millennium Range-Brown, Mortar-White
Defects: Flush joints make the wall is nearly flat. For outlook, it may be boring.
Comment: Flush joints are suitable for any brick and when formed consistently makes the mortar the feature. If the mortar is the same colour as the brick, the flush joint can help create a ‘bagged’ or rendered look.



Example 4


Location: Kings Cross, Fire Station
Bond: English (Alternative courses of headers and stretchers; one header is placed centrally above each stretcher)
Jointing: Flush
Surface texture: Rough
Structural/Non-structural: Structural (Bricks are made as wall to support the building)
Colour/s: Brick-Dry Pressed Bowral Brick Range-Gertrudis Brown, Mortar-White
Defects: Flush joints make the wall is nearly flat. For outlook, it may be boring.
Comment: Flush joints are suitable for any brick and when formed consistently makes the mortar the feature. If the mortar is the same colour as the brick, the flush joint can help create a ‘bagged’ or rendered look.
