Made of bricks

Brief

The humble brick, used in construction for almost 10,000 years and counting, apparently, and still the go-to, stalwart material of much of the world’s building industry, despite its many modern-day challengers. You might take a photowalk around your local brick-built housing estate. You might visit the majestic Tate Modern museum in London, the repurposed and renovated brick-built Victorian power station. If you want to send the Photocrowd offices into a state of confusion then upload a picture of a brick, and we can get to thinking about whether it is made of bricks or not.
