Image title: Dome of Florence Cathedral Architect: Filippo Brunelleschi Date: 1436 Photographer: Sailko Interesting Aspect (50 words): Brunelleschi’s dome was a masterpiece that continues to inspire architects of the world till today. His innovative approach to constructing this brick masonry dome involved vaulting the dome space without any scaffolding by using a double shell with a space in between.
Image title: Curved brick facade at Dr Chau Chak Wing Building at Sydney’s UTS Architect: Frank Gehry Date: not known Photographer: not known Interesting Aspect (50 words): This project uses Bowral Bricks shapes which are used in conjunction with standard bricks, allowing the architect to add distinctive architectural features to any project.
Image title: Breathe brick Architect: Carmen Trudell (project director) + team Date: not known Photographer: N.A Interesting Aspect (50 words): Breathe Brick is designed to be part of a building’s normal ventilation system, with a double-layer brick facade with specialized bricks on the outside, complemented by an inner layer that provides standard insulation.
BRICK SELECTION
Brick name: clay brick Type: F2 (Frost resistant) Size: 230 mm x 110 mm x 76 mm Manufacturer: PGH Bricks and Pavers Place made: Victoria Description of selected brick: Frost resistant clay bricks will allow for protection from frost and other weather attacks that may cause its degradation. Other benefits of this brick includes durability, structural capacity, energy performance and poisitive environmental impacts. Its colour would match well with the surrounding buildings as well, providing a nice aesthetic look. source: www.pghbrick.com.au/products/bricks/frost

20 - 30% OPENING STRATEGY: 2 out of 3 parts of my total wall show gap openings which would create nice shadow patterns under sunlight. The last part contains 3 rectangular openings that resemble windows and a door. It would admit more light in and creates a nice connection between the other two parts of the total wall.

Calculations: (in metres) Total wall surface area = (2.27x2.174) + (2.14x2.174) + (1.67x2.174) m^2 = 4.93 + 4.65 + 3.63 m^2 = 13.2 m^2

Openings 1. Standard brick openings: T.S.A of 1 brick = 0.096x0.12 m^2 = 0.1152 m^2 opening count = 104 total T.S.A = 1.3 m^2 1386
