Brick has long been a trusted material, used worldwide by builders who appreciate its strength and versatility. It offers proven value to both traditional works and contemporary designs. The venerable material has even become a trendsetter; as the New York Times recently reported, 'Bricks Return with Style in New High-End Buildings'.

Following the popular first volume of Folio, Folio 2 features the most inspiring new brick buildings in North America and Australia. Here single-family homes, university buildings, cultural centres, showroom interiors, and more show the possibilities of brick. Each project uses material manufactured by Glen-Gery in a variety of shapes, colours, and textures, from conventional brick to glass brick to custom-designed brick for unique implementations. The buildings are thoroughly documented in photos and drawings, and with texts based on new interviews with their designers — a who’s who of both up-and-coming and established architecture firms.
