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.

Intimidés par les doctrines modernistes, architectes et critiques d'art se consacraient à l'acier, au béton et au verre, oubliant les réalisations spectaculaires qui jalonnent toute l'histoire de la brique - pour ne rien dire de ses avantages pratiques. La situation a maintenant changé : la brique est de retour. La remise à l'honneur de son long passé n'avait que trop tardé. Ce livre d'architecture totalement original - le premier jamais consacré à une étude complète sur ce sujet - retrace l'histoire de la brique depuis 5000 av. J.-C. jusqu'à son emploi dans les constructions actuelles, en passant par les basiliques et les thermes colossaux du monde romain, les merveilles de la Backsteingotik en Allemagne, les temples majestueux de Pagan, les mosquées de l'Asie centrale et de l'Iran, et le revival moderne. Merveilleusement illustré de photographies spectaculaires réalisées spécialement, le présent ouvrage est à la fois une histoire de l'emploi de la brique à travers les siècles, une vue d'ensemble sur les techniques de fabrication et d'utilisation de ce matériau, et un essai d'histoire architecturale et culturelle. Les auteurs ont appliqué leurs connaissances visuelles et techniques à plus d'une centaine de réalisations, depuis le briquetage de l'ancienne Égypte jusqu'aux créations de maîtres modernes tels que Louis Kahn, Alvar Aalto et Renzo Piano. Les grandes oeuvres d'ingénierie civile - viaducs, tunnels et ponts - sont mises en valeur parallèlement aux temples et aux mosquées, aux cathédrales et aux résidences campagnardes, attestant l'incroyable souplesse d'emploi et l'importance de ce matériau. Un glossaire illustré détaillant les termes techniques et les diverses méthodes de liaison, d'appareil et de construction complète l'ouvrage. L'ancienne ville de Babylone, la Grande Muraille de Chine, la cathédrale d'Albi, le Chrysler Building... Les chefs-d'oeuvre en brique sont plus nombreux qu'on ne le pense.

Over the course of three years, the Insitute of Architecture and Planning at the University of Liechtenstein, the Mackintosh School of Architecture in Glasgow and the Academy of Architecture in Amsterdam, examined aspects of the subject of façades across Europe. By analysing different architectural traditions and techniques, and focusing on the materials most widely used in the European context, the international cooperation looked at historical developments in the design and building of façades, the theoretical underpinnings that can explain these developments, as well as common materials and their main characteristics, with the aim to develop new approaches to the construction of façades. Design studios were set up at all three universities to experiment with different techniques, materials and approaches. Crafting the Façade presents the findings of this interdisciplinary study along with the results of the design studios - detailed hand drawings at a scale of 1:10 and life-size prototypes in stone, brick and wood - all of which are reproduced in this richly illustrated volume.
