Park Books International New Titles Spring 2022

From hand-made brick to high-tech product: building with
blocks of fired clay today draws from a heritage of nine millennia
and remains innovative, sustainable, and highly appreciated for
its manifold applications.
Since 2004, Wienerberger, the world’s largest manufacturer of
bricks and other clay building materials, biannually presents the
international Brick Award as a scene for outstanding achievements
in brick architecture. The tenth edition of this master
class in 2022 saw 789 submissions from fifty-three countries,
that were reviewed by an international jury of experts. This book
features the fifty nominees and the winning designs in five categories.
All of them are presented through concise texts, atmospheric
images, as well as site and floor plans, views, elevations,
and sections. Topical essays by architect Matevz Celik, architecture
historian Anna Cymer, publicist Wojciech Czaja, professor
of architecture Isabella Leber, and architect Henrietta Palmer
round out this survey of contemporary brick architecture.
