Ultimately architecture must be perceived by the human senses. By touch, smell and sight .a space becomes an experience. In order to create this experience an endless variety of materials are used. -If the experience is to be unique the selection of the proper materials is very important.

My approach was to go through the design process and investigate what influences the different variables of brick would have on the project.
