Seeking - and finding - silly things to do with a brick. Really just an excuse to play with the new kit....
I think I may have found a use for these useless lengths of narrow gauge track ;) This illustration shows a concept I'm currently exploring to render a brick arch viaduct. The arch is defined by the curved track section and it also serves as a secure anchor point for the brick arch segments (2 studs long). A 1x2 plate built masonry structure is built around the arch and it fits snuggly between the 1x3 tiles (fanned out from the arch) and the arch support. There are still many details to resolve; but I think this approach may have some promise. I'm going to try to build one span, and then repeat as necessary if all goes well.
A brick is a block made of clay burnt in a kiln. It is one of the primary building materials known to mankind. Over time, bricks have appeared, gained prominence, lost importance and then come to the forefront again with various styles of architecture. Burnt bricks were used in ancient Indian, Babylon, Egypt and Roman civilizations. They are still being used as filler materials for framework structures as well as to construct load bearing structures. Down the ages, there have been various interesting historic and cultural references to bricks.
Brick kiln labourers form a large portion of workers in the informal sector in India. Workers, who are usually from the poorest sections of Indian society, are recruited against a loan by labour contractor or employer, which they have to repay by working for them. However, as they lose control over the debt and cannot leave until the employer decides when it’s paid off, they cannot realistically leave the ‘employment’. They are bonded labours.
The working and living conditions are sometimes extremely harsh. As workers usually live within the kiln, there are high levels of hazardous substances such as arsenic, burnt plastic and dust. Workers, including children, are frequently injured at work. The average working day consists of 15-16 hours and the great majority of children do not attend school or have any play time. The accommodation is usually overcrowded, commonly with several families living together in one single room, with outdoor toilets.
Kiln workers have little or no knowledge of their basic rights, entitlements and bonded labour prohibitions. Being from the most vulnerable segments of society and lacking organisation, bonded labourers remain “invisible” to the authorities.
