ADDING INTEREST WITH BRICK SHAPES
This program focuses on the use of shapes, not only to increase the aesthetic quality of brickwork, but also toward accomplishing better detailing and better performing brickwork. Increased water penetration resistance, reducing the size of expansion joints, and the proper design of acute angle corners, can all be realized using shapes. Included is a discussion on how to reduce the cost of shapes through individual brick design and considerations of color, size, and bond patterns. Other topics included in the course are manufacturing, functions of specific shapes and brick sculpture.
Learning Objectives
1. Select clay brick shapes to limit water penetration.
2. Summarize information needed to specify and detail brick shapes.
3. Review techniques for manufacturing brick shapes.
4. Demonstrate how the attractiveness of the building is increased by using brick shapes.
