Brick An Exacting Material

The book, a true handbook on the contemporary use of brick in Dutch architecture, stands out for its rigorous graphic structure. Each chapter follows its own visual logic, unified by an elaborate system of typography and imagery. The double-page layout, with a single justified column in expressive Antiqua, blends tradition with asymmetry, creating generous side spaces for images, tables, or complex captions. This design also allows for two-column text without losing typographic consistency. All titles appear in spaced capitals, and centered chapter headings pay homage to the material’s history. Printed on rough natural paper that still supports four-color images, the book combines conceptual and visual ambition: an ambitious subject, matched by an ambitious design.
