Brick Lane London. Street market every Sunday but I was there on a Saturday so missed that. Great old colourful area of east London
Always annoying when you get the right hand half of a brick, because it is really hard to look it up. I'm hoping someone will recognise this brick.
Brick wall test (back) for minilander scale building. I want a brick wall that is 2 studs wide with brick (tile 1 x 2) on both sides but stable enough for a tallish 1 story minilander building. Other suggestions are welcome.
The Kalamazoo Loose Leaf Binder Company built and began operations in this building in 1906. Saniwax took over and renamed the building in 1950. In 1982 it became the Park Trades Center - a collection of art studios and other small businesses.

What if the iPhone “brick” tragedy extended to other parts of our lives? BRICKED!, our exclusive Revision3 video, provides a glimpse into that dark world…
They’re calling it the iPocalyspse. On Friday, as droves of loyal Apple fans tried to activate their shiny new iPhone 3Gs or upgrade their old iPhones to the new iPhone 2.0 firmware, the iTunes servers at Apple buckled under the crush of downloads. The tragic result was that giddy Apple fan boys and girls the world over had their new toys reduced to useless ‘bricks’ until home downloads could be completed or, for those trying to get the phones activated in Apple stores, after waiting in 2 to 3 hour lines at the Genius Bar.
But what would happen if this awful ‘bricking’ extended to other crucial parts of our lives? BRICKED!, our exclusive Revision3 video, tells that horrific story…
I actually had to lie on my stomach to get this one.
Believe me, that attracted some weird looks from people passing by.
Twin-Bricks, Saitama, 2008
TWIN BRICKS
Twin-Bricks, consists of two wings - A five unit rental dwelling and the owner’s own two-family house. It is located in a quiet residential area, just 20 minutes by train from Tokyo. In order to secure some space for the owner’s car collection, the owner’s wing (RC Wing) stands closer to the road than the rental wing (S Wing). The rental wing is clad in both autoclaved lightweight concrete (ALC) panels as well as glass blocks.
S WING
The S Wing, based on the previously completed “Crystal Brick” House, introduces ALC panels as aseismatic elements in order to improve cost-effectiveness in the face of earthquake safety. The arrangement of glass block and ALC panel was derived from a series of experiments. The results showed that the ALC panel fail leaving the glass blocks intact, providing enhanced safety for the occupants. An intriguing spatial composition materializes due to the seemingly random composition of the glass block and ALC Panels which hide all structure.
RC WING
With the purpose of alleviating noise from the garage and providing a sense of privacy for the owners, Atelier Tekuto Co., Ltd. created the “RC structure + exterior thermal insulation” construction method. Costs were significantly reduced by introducing high-pressure wood wool cement boards and integrating the boards as form works. Original tiles were also developed after careful consideration.
The overall experience of Twin Bricks is heightened by the juxtaposition of the heavy RC wing and light S wing and between the transparency of glass versus the opacity of the ALC panels. Though these materials seem to be in antithesis, they exhibit a material harmony when partnered together.
