Brick Hardcover – April 20, 2015

Brick is beautiful. I also bought and recommend concrete, and tend to seek anything about the architecture of cabins, but brick is beautifully photographed in all its diversity; some of it exquisitely soft and organic looking. It has this look of returning to the earth, and the choices Mr. Hall puts on display celebrate it. Nice binding and layout as well. Easily worth the bucks.

It was the famous architect, Louis Khan, who once carried on a famous dialogue with a brick, asking it what it wanted to be. This book turns that dialogue on its end. It is a wonderfully large book with excellent, large photographs of brick masonry primarily expressed in pure geometric constructions, mostly contemporary but also spread over the centuries. If you are looking for excellent examples of intricate brick patterning and bonding techniques, this is not the book for you. It shows the power of brick when used to create large, monolithic structures which actually have little or nothing to do with architectural function and everything to do with architectural form. Louis Sullivan, famed for his statement, "Form follows function". would be quite appalled. This is the book of brick for art's sake.

A great book for brick lovers.
