brick architecture
Fired-block building style
Brick architecture refers to buildings and structures constructed primarily from bricks—fired clay blocks laid in mortar.
The term encompasses both a building method and an aesthetic tradition spanning thousands of years, from ancient Mesopotamia to modern urban facades.
The neighborhood's brick architecture gives it a distinctly industrial character.
Brick architecture often implies durability, craftsmanship, and a warm, textured appearance that distinguishes it from stone, concrete, or glass construction.
