I love all types of art and admire creative people since I have no creativity at all. We flew into London a few hours earlier and I was trying to stay awake so I decided to check out the murals of Brick Lane in East London. I exited from the Tube station, took a wrong turn, and ended up near the East London Mosque. Interesting area. I got my bearings and found an amazing number of murals and paintings, not just on Brick Lane but in surrounding parks. Absolutely amazing and a great place to check out - and then have a curry afterwards!
I took these photos in East London in October 2016.

Dome, è un progetto che vede gli studenti del Laboratorio di Progetto II della Facoltà di Architettura e gli allievi della Scuola Edile di Siracusa impe-gnati a realizzare in scala 1:1 un sistema abitativo low-tech. Archi, volte e cupole in laterizio sono gli elementi costruttivi con cui gli allievi sperimentano le potenzialità d’uso innovativo di materiali e tecnologie della tradizione.
La tecnica adottata si fonda sull’impiego del ‘compasso’, un metodo che l’architetto Fabrizio Caròla impiega da oltre trent’anni in Africa ed in particolare nel Mali. Un metodo desunto dalle ‘antiche tecniche’ co¬struttive nubiane e dalle esperienze dell’architetto egiziano Hassan Fathy.
Questo cantiere didattico-sperimentale è anche un omaggio a Fabrizio Carola, “all’uomo della pietra” come lo chiamano i Dogon del Mali, l’uomo che ci ha mostrato col suo esempio la possibilità di ritrovare un più equilibrato rapporto tra architettura e luogo entro una visione in cui ricerca, formazione e professione non costituiscono più ambiti separati.
Dome is a research project which brings together the Siracusa-based Architectural Design Lab II students and the Building School students with a common goal of constructing a 1:1 low-tech shelter. Brick arches, vaults and domes become a basis for innovative experiments with traditional materials and techniques.
The adopted method is based on the use of a revolving compass - a traditional Nubian technique explored by the Egyptian architect Hassan Fathy and perfected by Fabrizio Caròla in Africa, and in particular in Mali, over a period of more than thirty years.
This experimental building site is also a homage to Fabrizio Carola - “the stone man” as the Mali Dogon call him – whose work demonstrates a possible return to a balanced relationship between architecture and its environment in a context in which research, academic and professional domains no longer constitute separate domains.
I just love old brickwork. The bricks are irregular and interesting, the craftsmanship is uncompromising.
Built new garden beds, paths, compost bin out of materials recycled from our old rotting deck and bricks from around the yard.
Espero que no haya sido así, así desde el comienzo, y espero que no lamentes el haberme conocido. Espero que no haya dolor dentro de tu corazón, porque el mío se cae en pedazos ..
.. when I'm far away from you .

Location- Nottingham- City Centre
This photography is of a brick wall that shows the use of graffiti work. I particularly like how the graffiti changes the image of the bricks into 3-D and makes them brighter. The texture is rough and lit up by natural light. The location is set in the city centre where lots of the population live therefore brick walls are more likely to have signs of graffiti on them so it will change the walls appearance.

The Brick Tavern House is a former inn on the National Road west of St. Clairsville, Belmont County, Ohio, United States. One of the oldest National Road taverns still in existence, it was built in the early nineteenth century. Although it fell into dilapidation during the late twentieth century, it was named a historic site in 1995, and extensive restoration was to be performed in the early 2010s but to date, has not been.
The tavern's construction date varies widely in different sources. A history of Belmont County published in 1903 proposed that it had been built in 1812; the U.S. Department of Transportation believes that it was constructed in 1828; a restoration firm, Centennial Preservation Group, states that it was erected in 1825; and the National Park Service gives its construction year as 1831. Built of brick on a foundation of sandstone, the tavern is covered with a tin roof and features elements of sandstone and slate. The two-and-a-half-story building features a gabled roof, while the overall design includes a rear ell faced by porches on both sides.
