The history of brick and its effect on every nuance of cultural design ranges from 5,000 B.C. to the present day, examining its use in ancient Egypt and Rome, Buddhist shrines, Mughal mosques, and other cultural monuments.
This first ever comprehensive study of brick follows the story of brick from 5,000 BC to its use in building today, via the vast baths and basilicas of ancient Rome, through the wonders of Gothic brick in Germany, the majestic temples of Pagan and Mughal mosques in Iran, to its modern revival. Illustrated with specially-taken photographs, "Brick" is at once an historical account of how bricks have been employed by architects of every period, a technical survey of brickmaking and bricklaying, and an essay in architectural and cultural history.
