Synopsis

This book presents an innovative set of diagrams and scales to aid architects and draughtsmen in creating ornamental brickwork. Born from the challenges faced by the author, this book provides solutions for implementing various bond and pattern designs, often a time-consuming and complex endeavor. The author presents a practical method for determining the number of courses and joints in all brickwork, using one brick and joint as a unit of measurement. Historically, the lack of proper tools for pattern design led to a decline in the use of ornamental brickwork. This book is set to change that by offering a combination of scales, tables, and a bond diagram for easy and accurate drawing of intricate brick patterns. These insights aim to facilitate the creation of beautiful and unique brickwork designs, adding artistic depth to architectural structures.
