Hardcover, 25 x 34 cm, 3.74 kg, 592 pages, Edition: Multilingual (English, French, German). ISBN 9783836592598. Brick by Brick The world?s most innovative brick buildings Of all building materials in the world, brick is one of the most enduring and ubiquitous. Traces of brickmaking date back to 7500 BC and fired brick first made its appearance in about 3500 BC. Since then, the trusty brick has shown amazing resilience and remains one of the mainstays of contemporary architecture. Rooted in tradition in countries as different as China and the Netherlands, it is inexpensive, flexible in use, and can also be ecologically fabricated. This comprehensive volume tours the world to cover the most exciting and innovative brick buildings of the past 35 years, from Paraguay to New Zealand. True to all TASCHEN architecture tomes, it includes new talents like Sanchit Arora from RENESA as well as established starchitects such as Renzo Piano and Peter Zumthor. Featured buildings showcase the variety of brick applications across cultural, domestic, infrastructure, and leisure spaces, including Tate Modern Switch House in London by Herzog & de Meuron, D?Houndt + Bajart?s Boa School Restaurant in Lille-Lomme, and MASS Design?s Maternity Waiting Village in Kasungu, Malawi. 0 g.
