Rael San Fratello - Planter Bricks - 2009

Brick-Stainable Competition Entry

Architect's Website: www.rael-sandfratello.com

I don't know if these planter bricks would actually work (bricks don't do very well with moisture over long periods of time - they deteriorate - especially in a winter climate), but I sure find 'em purdy!

Caruso St.John, Brick House, London, 2001-2005

Architect's Website: www.carusostjohn.com

Every time I see this project, I remember why I'm learning to build buildings.

There is no facade/exterior on this project; the space was squeezed between two existing buildings on a shard of land, the entry is through one of those buildings.
