Brickwork, which has a long history of successful usage in garden work, is increasingly being recognised as an excellent material for use in urban landscaping. In addition to its flexibility of scale, its suitability for both walling and paving allows continuity of appearance and harmony with nearby buildings. The wide choice of colours and textures makes it attractive for both formal and informal situations, and it has the great attraction of retaining its good appearance with minimum maintenance. However, although the general characteristics of brickwork as used in buildings are well documented and understood, there are important additional aspects to consider when it is used in landscaping. Exposure conditions are more severe and the correct choice of material, together with appropriate detailing, is important, while its application as paving, which need not be confined to pedestrian usage, calls for attention to drainage and a knowledge of bedding methods. This handbook, a revised version of a series that appeared in The Architects' Journal, gives guidance, based on internationally gathered data, on the properties, choice, and use of clay or calcium silicate brickwork for paving, freestanding and retaining walls, and other landscape features. In addition to the technical information are many photographs, taken from a wide variety of international sources, which provide a palette of ideas for the kind of design effects that can be achieved with what is perhaps the most environmentally sympathetic of all traditional building materials.

Brick by brick - the world's most innovative brick buildings. Of all building materials in the word, brick is one of the most enduring and ubiquitous. Traces of brickmaking date back to 7500 BC and fired brick first made its appearance in about 3500 BC. Since then, the trusty brick has shown amazing resilience and remains one of the mainstays of contemporary architecture. Rooted in tradition in countries as different as China and the Netherlands, it is inexpensive, flexible in use, and can also be ecologically fabricated. This comprehensive two-volume set tours the world to cover the most exciting and innovative brick buildings of the past 15 years, from Argentina to New Zealand. True to all TASCHEN architecture tomes, it includes new talents like Argentina Diego Arraigada and Vietnam's Nguyen Hai Long as well as established architects such as Tadao Ando and Peter Zumthor. Featured buildings showcase the variety of brick applications across cultural, domestic, infrastructure, and leisure spaces, including Tate Modern Switch House by Herzog & De Meuron, Tidy Architects Amorio Restaurant in Santiago, and Mass Design Group's Maternity Waiting Village in Kasungu, Malawi. De tous les matériaux de construction qui existent au monde, la brique fait partie des plus utilisés, de tous temps. Les premières traces de bâtiments réalisés en briques de terre remontent à 7500 av. J.C. et la brique cuite a fait son apparition vers 3500 av. J.C. Depuis, le fidèle parallélépipède a montré une résilience incroyable, et demeure un élément de base de l'architecture contemporaine. Ancré dans la tradition en Chine ou aux Pays-Bas, elle est peu onéreuse, d'usage flexible et peut aussi être fabriquée de façon écologique. Ce coffret de deux volumes sillonne le monde pour présenter les bâtiments en brique les plus novateurs et enthousiasmants de ces 15 dernières années, de l'Argentine à la Nouvelle-Zélande. Fidèle à l'esprit de tous les titres TASCHEN dédiés à l'architecture, il expose les réalisations de nouveaux talents comme l'Argentin Diego Arraigada et le Vietnamien Nguyen Hai Long, ainsi que de "starchitectes" établis comme Tadao Ando ou Peter Zumthor. Les constructions choisies illustrent une variété d'usage de la brique, tant dans les espaces culturels, domestiques ou de loisirs que dans les infrastructures, comme la Tate Modern Switch House par Herzog & De Meuron, l'Amorio Restaurant de Tidy Architects à Santiago ou le Village de mise en observation des femmes enceintes bâti par le Mass Design Group à Kasungu, au Malawi.

Bricks are the only non-natural building material that can look back at several thousand years of history. And as Mies van der Rhohe stated: "Architecture starts when you carefully put two bricks together. There it begins". Buildings made of this fabric from very different epochs and cultures all over the world are always astonishing, and the world's best architects have explored the qualities of brickwork. A key characteristic for its success since time immemorial has always been easy planning through the standardization of production and the resulting harmonized construction process. Amazing constructive qualities, inexpensive and at the same time environmentally friendly production as well as the longevity are among the qualities that are particularly valued today. In this volume, historical and contemporary brick edifices are featured showing the wide range of possible applications and design possibilities.
