The art of the brick: reviewed

Abstract

English: To celebrate Australia’s strong tradition of brick architecture, as well as the largely unsung art of bricklaying, Australian architect and curator, Derham Groves, organized two complementary public exhibitions of full-scale brick structures designed by various architects and artists. The results were an intriguing mixture of art and the everyday, as Groves describes in the following article.

Die resultaat was ’n intrigiese mengsel van kuns en die alledaagse soos wat deur Groves in die volgende artikel beskryf word.
