Interlocking Bricks
Architectural projects using interlocking brick systems for structural, thermal, and aesthetic purposes.
Interlocking bricks offer designers a versatile building method that combines structural integrity with environmental performance. The material allows for creative stacking strategies while providing natural ventilation, thermal mass, and visual texture.
The community explores how interlocking brick construction enables vertical stacking of programs, perforated brick veils for climate control, and modular volume arrangements across diverse climates from tropical regions to urban rooftops.
