Project 3: Bricks as Image Example 9-10

Example 9

Location: Circular Quay, Restaurant
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-New Century Range-Red, Mortar-Grey
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.
