Summary

In this book, Terry Knight outlines the decisions and actions in designing and building brickwork which determine and affect its appearance, dealing with both the technical and the aesthetic aspects of creating attractive brickwork. Extensively illustrated in colour and black and white, 'Creative Brickwork' shows the many and varied ways available to use brickwork, as well as how to achieve these effects in construction. The practitioner and student of architecture, brickwork and construction will find the book takes them beyond the fundamental craft of brickwork to the imaginative use of brickwork in construction.
