Project 3: Bricks as Image Example 5-6

Example 5


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: Raked
Surface texture: Rough
Structural/Non-structural: Structural (Bricks are made as wall to support the building)
Colour/s: Brick-New Century Range-Gold, Mortar-White
Defects: The raking cannot be deeper than 10 mm and cannot come closer than 5mm to any core hole in the brick.
Comment: Raking is suitable for any type of brick and able to create an ever-changing shadow line for contrast and interest.



Example 6



Location: Kensington, House
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: Rough
Structural/Non-structural: Structural (Bricks are made as wall to support the building)
Colour/s: Brick-Metropoli Range-Topaz, 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.
