From hand-made brick to high-tech product: building with blocks of
fired clay today draws from a heritage of nine millennia and
remains innovative, sustainable, and highly appreciated for its
manifold applications. Since 2004, Wienerberger, the world's
largest manufacturer of bricks and other clay building materials,
biannually presents the international Brick Award as a scene for
outstanding achievements in brick architecture. The 2020 edition of
this master class saw 644 submissions from fifty-five countries
that were reviewed by an international jury of experts. This book
features the fifty nominees and the six winning designs, which are
located in Africa, Asia, Europe, and Central America. All projects
are presented in texts and richly illustrated with atmospheric
images, site and floor plans, views, elevations and sections. Five
topical essays by international authors, discussing the winning
buildings in a wider context, round out this celebration of
contemporary brick architecture.
