Photo (credits by various photographers) captured during the Brick Built: Engineering SCI event held at the Science Center of Iowa & Blank IMAX Dome Theater on March 16th - 17th, 2013.
This brick was found under Newport Transporter Bridge some years ago. At that time I thought it was a rogue English brick that had strayed onto Welsh soil so just put it in storage with loads of others. I have since discovered another collector here on flickr who also has one, so I have unashamedly copied the text that appears under his photograph!
Text from Cold War Warrior:
"Believed to be Bishpool Brick Co. Bishpool Brickworks, Chepstow Road Newport, opened c. 1886, closed ?
Not on 1886 OS maps or others (1902, 1922). There was a wood at Bishpool called “Brickyard Wood”.
Cope's Directory of Wales & Monmouthshire for 1907 gives: Bishpool Brick & Tile Co, Marlborough Road (Newport)."
A new brick chimney rebuilt and relined with stainless steel flue liners. The original dated brick were reused.
I've been in this building for a year and still do not know where this pipe goes or what it does! Taken at FOB Warrior, Iraq
Fountain Square is one of three art districts in Indianapolis. Lots to see, do, eat, and drink...and buy! I took this series of photos within a 20 minute time frame on a very hot day. I want to return when it's cooler.

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.
