Description
"This totally original architecture book - the first ever comprehensive study of brick - follows the story of brick from 5,000 B.C. to its use in building today, from the vast baths and basilicas of ancient Rome, through the wonders of Gothic brick in Germany, the majestic temples of Pagan and Mughal mosques in Iran, to its modern revival."--Jacket.
