In most places around the world, bricks have been an architectural staple for centuries, in some cases, millennia. It is probable that bricks are the world\u2019s earliest manmade building material.<\/p>\n

Yet, the material is rarely celebrated as important, influential, or exciting; no books have been published on the subject for a decade: brick buildings are utterly ubiquitous and yet utterly invisible. Perhaps that\u2019s because bricks come in such a humble, unassuming, manageable form \u2014 they\u2019re sized to be gripped in one hand while the other applies mortar \u2014 and that they\u2019re basically just made of earth.<\/p>\n

Brick doesn\u2019t have the grandeur of stone or the modernity of concrete or steel. But they do have a remarkable series of properties: they\u2019re economical, weather resistant, and fireproof. They can be made locally from natural materials and they\u2019re recyclable. They\u2019re also environmentally efficient, as their open cell structure stores heat and releases it slowly, making brick buildings cool in summer and warm in winter. Lastly, bricks are also widely liked by non-architects.<\/p>\n

A new generation of architects is reimagining what a brick building is, and their work demonstrates that, far from being anachronistic, brick is likely to remain relevant in the future as new ways are found to exploit its many qualities.<\/p>\n

Open Air Museum<\/b><\/a> by Mecanoo<\/a> (2000), Arnhem, Netherlands<\/p>\n

This open-air heritage museum is a collection of vernacular buildings from across the Netherlands. A 470-feet-long wall formed of a tapestry of bricks of different bonding and jointing methods welcomes visitors to the site \u2014 a clear nod to the variety of bricks to be found beyond the wall.<\/p>\n

South Asian Human Rights Documentation Centre<\/b><\/a> by Anagram Architects<\/a> (2005), New Delhi, India<\/p>\n

Briefed to block noise and direct sunlight while retaining some light and ventilation, Anagram conceived this elegantly arranged perforated wall. It screens an office building for a Human Rights NGO. The project demonstrates the delicacy that brick can have \u2014 in a form that would not be conceived with any other material.<\/p>\n

Community Centre Westvleteren<\/b><\/a> by Atelier Tom Vanhee<\/a> with Room and Room (2011), Westvleteren, Belgium<\/p>\n

Combining elements of a town hall, a 19th<\/sup>-century school, and a 1990s storage building, the architects unified a patchwork of brick into a new whole. The existing elements are decipherable, which means that the renovation has a palpable sense of both history and rebirth that is entirely appropriate to its role as a community center.<\/p>\n

ABC Building<\/b><\/a> by Wise Architecture<\/a> (2012), Seoul, South Korea<\/p>\n

This five-story office building features what the architect has coined an \u201carchitectural mountain.\u201d The switchback staircase reaches the top of the building in five flights arriving at the roof terrace \u201csummit.\u201d Most captivating are the perforated walls along the way, which allow views out even as they give the building a resolute mass from afar.<\/p>\n

Kolumba Art Museum<\/b><\/a> by Peter Zumthor (2010), Cologne, Germany<\/p>\n

There has likely been a church on this site for over a thousand years. While parts of its medieval incarnation survive, most of the site was destroyed during World War II. Zumthor chose to incorporate the surviving elements, combining the dispersed original buildings into a coherent whole. Perforations allow air and city noise to permeate the walls of this museum, while color-matched mortar gives the building a solid, grounded quality.<\/p>\n

Mulberry House<\/b><\/a> by SHoP Architects<\/a> (2009), New York, N.Y.<\/p>\n

Local planning codes required that this reinforced concrete high-rise apartment block must be clad in masonry. To create the undulating brick fa\u00e7ade, each panel was created off site. A rubber form held the bricks in position on the floor, and concrete was poured on top. When cured, the rubber form was removed to leave the monolithic panel ready for mounting to the fa\u00e7ade.<\/p>\n

Red Apple Apartment<\/b><\/a> by Aedes Studio<\/a> (2013), Sofia, Bulgaria<\/p>\n

Building on a site with scant historical references, Aedes Studio created their own. Echoing many postindustrial cities across Europe, they conceived a former factory building, then imagined its conversion into modern apartments. This conceit \u2014 or perhaps deceit \u2014 allows for a series of engaging details such as chimneys, metal cages for balconies, and apparently random positions of double-height spaces. The whole remains coherent due to the consistent use of brick.<\/p>\n

Pixel House<\/b><\/a> by Mass Studies<\/a> and Slade Architecture<\/a> (2003), Gyeonggido, South Korea<\/p>\n

Stepped brickwork defines the perimeter and roof of this striking family house in South Korea. The clients wanted a friendly building that welcomed the local community to share the space outside their home. A rounded form like this is difficult to achieve in brick, yet the result is appealingly playful.<\/p>\n

\u00c5rsta Church<\/a><\/b> by Johan Celsing<\/a> (2008), Stockholm, Sweden<\/p>\n

This Lutheran church sits on bedrock overlooking a suburb of Stockholm. A huge number of materials are used for a small site \u2014 green and white glazed, red, perforated, and lime washed bricks among them \u2014 yet their masterful composition and restrained detailing have resulted in a quietly powerful space. The walls are made of load-bearing brick, unlike many 21st<\/sup>-century brick buildings, which have a reinforced concrete structure. One result of supporting such weight is that the walls at ground level are about three feet thick.<\/p>\n

Ningbo Museum<\/b> by Wang Shu (2008), Ningbo, China<\/p>\n

This massive museum of Chinese history uses salvaged local materials of various shapes and sizes including tens of thousands of bricks. Shu deliberately alluded to both the topography of the area by making mountainous references and to the sea-trading tradition of Ningbo: the building\u2019s object-like autonomy and boat-prow form make it seem like a giant vessel floating through the landscape.<\/p>\n
