Brand 120: "Brick is a superlative building material, the product of 8,000 years of experience in firing clay into modular units that can be mortared together and stacked by hand into unreinforced structures as high as sixteen stories"
Matisse Enzer: "Bricks allow a wonderful variety of patterns and degrees of softness-hardness, permanence-temporariness. Most of all, they are intuitively obvious"
Brand 121: "Bricks, more than any other material, look like they were made to fit the human hand."
They"manage time beautifully. They can last nearly forever. Their rough surface takes a handsome patina that keeps improving for centuries."
