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.
Again, built a while ago.The original concept was made by Lego Junkie and I took it and modified it to my liking.
Displayed MOCs at Brick Fiesta 2013. All the MOCs were excellent, and there's a few that I didn't get pictures for; which is quite unfortunate.
Unless stated otherwise, these are not my creations.
Walked past the local school on my way to the store when i saw this on one of the walls. I kinda liked how the patterns and colours of the boards, bricks, door and stone wall looked together.

There were three of these brick circles in this area – I think they were made by school children on an outdoor activity.
Test photos of bricks, how boring they are. Who cares how a camera/lens renders bricks, other than bricklayers?
This is about 7am just on the outskirts of Kathmandu. The group on the left are children - I'm guessing aged 8 - 16 - waiting to start carrying the baked bricks that the men on the right are uncovering.

I wonder how many horse and wagons passed over these bricks.

In case it wasn't obvious before, this officially certifies TJ as insane. The thing weighs like 70 pounds and it not only has a functional crane, but it drives!
This year's Brick Fiesta was a bit underwhelming compared to the last two, and I didn't exactly help matters by hardly building all year. But had a good time hanging out with Steve.
