In a world where concrete is the equivalent of modern and high-end, bricks may seem so out of place. But being out of place also means standing out.
Bricks have been used since the beginning of early civilization of mankind which dates back to almost 7,000 BC. Used by our ancestors for building houses, roads and other monuments, which still stand as world heritage sites today. A single brick may look unremarkable or too simple, but today many modern architects and designers have found variety of bold new ways to use the material in construction.
