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.

These bricks were used as ballast in ships that transported whale meat for fertilizer and animal food in the early 1900s.
A decorative yellow air brick in a wall on Armoury Terrace. Likely in my opinion, to be either an the Ebbw Vale or Beaufort Brick brick. It appears to be a standard brick, pierced.
Inside, I have:
1743 Medium Blue 1x4 Bricks
1617 Lime 1x4 Bricks
42 Black 1x4 Bricks
21 Clear 1x2 Bricks
And enuff space in front, for the flap to slide in, which isn't wide enuff for another row of bricks anyway.
And if I forced any bricks in there, I would not be able to close the lid.
It can fit a block built 26 x 25 x 21 bricks high.

Dirty Ybor does NOT have its own section, it's kinda just in the alleyways. We found a shit ton of awesome stuff! Most of the grunge stuff I shot is on my B/W film, that'll be put up shortly. I would love to go walk around all of Ybor to find every last nook and cranny for dirty parts like this.
Hobos aren't shy though, they will stare at you. For minutes at a time, and they won't stop until you leave. It's a bit creepy... haha. But it does call for a good.. erm, well I'm not sure. A good something, I know that.
*Note to myself: Find better color film, actually, NEVER USE COLOR FILM AGAIN.
Acid proof brick and plate are widely applied in petroleum, chemical industry, medicine-making, food, paper-making, chemical fertilizer, agriculture, pesticide, chemical fibre, textile industry, smelting, and power-generating plants etc., and anti-corrosion inner liner of tower, pool; pot, sinks, what’s more, it also plays leading anti-corrosion role in waste water treatment and open air working grounds. Acid-resistant ceramics can resist most media except hydrogen-arc acid, thermal alkali and thick alkali, and has better anti-corrosion effect in moist chlorasalt, hydrochloric acid etc. and any alkali under normal temperature. www.chinafirebrick.com/80Acid-Proof-Brick.html

Das ist vom schönen Kamin übrig geblieben. Er mußte vor ein paar Jahren auf Anordnung des Landratsamts beseitigt werden.
