BRICK WORKS

How does the future brick look like?

Going back to ‘local’ is proposed as one of the solutions to the global climate crisis. But being local is not free from global responsibilities. Local extraction focused solely on local raw, and natural materials is a problematic practice. Therefore, is the presented collection an investigation of alternative material solutions and translation of a brick not only using local raw and natural materials.

It is a result of an attempt to reimagine how locally produced bricks can look like, based on clay from Bornholm and native fibers as well as artificial matter found in the ground like concrete and asphalt, are pointing out the contradictions in human-centered and nature-centered design as well as offering tools to reimagine architecture.
