Sun-baked bricks were used in regions along the Nile River as far back as 7,000 B.C. While brick production methods have continued to change over time, brick remains a preferred building material, particularly due to its speed and economy in production as well as its durability.<\/p>\n<p>While brick\u2019s dimensions and composition may differ from place to place, you can be almost certain of one thing: it will be a rectangular block. These modular blocks, however, do not limit a structure to rectilinearity. On the contrary, brick is capable of creating curving and undulating forms, both smooth and textured. This is not new knowledge either, brick has been used to make such iconic curved structures as Filippo Brunelesschi\u2019s dome of the Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral in Florence and Eero Saarinen\u2019s chapel at MIT. Today, this creativity and innovation with brick continues. The following contemporary projects showcase the versatility of brick, proving there is still much room for experimentation with this timeless material.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\n\t<img class=\"lazy\"\n\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/themes\/architizer\/assets\/images\/blank.png\"\n\t\tdata-src=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/145771879362823653_04_67835.jpg?fit=max&#038;w=1680&#038;q=60&#038;auto=format&#038;auto=compress&#038;cs=strip\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-srcset=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/145771879362823653_04_67835.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1680&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1680w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/145771879362823653_04_67835.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1080&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1080w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/145771879362823653_04_67835.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=760&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 760w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/145771879362823653_04_67835.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=625&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 625w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/145771879362823653_04_67835.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=368&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 368w\"\n\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1680px) 1680px,(min-width: 1080px) 1080px,(min-width: 760px) 760px,(min-width: 625px) 625px,368px\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"\u00a9 Parham Taghioff\"\n\t\titemprop=\"contentUrl\"\n\t>\n\t<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 Parham Taghioff<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\n\t<img class=\"lazy\"\n\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/themes\/architizer\/assets\/images\/blank.png\"\n\t\tdata-src=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/145771878198623653_07_67632.jpg?fit=max&#038;w=1680&#038;q=60&#038;auto=format&#038;auto=compress&#038;cs=strip\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-srcset=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/145771878198623653_07_67632.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1680&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1680w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/145771878198623653_07_67632.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1080&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1080w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/145771878198623653_07_67632.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=760&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 760w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/145771878198623653_07_67632.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=625&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 625w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/145771878198623653_07_67632.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=368&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 368w\"\n\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1680px) 1680px,(min-width: 1080px) 1080px,(min-width: 760px) 760px,(min-width: 625px) 625px,368px\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"\u00a9 Parham Taghioff\"\n\t\titemprop=\"contentUrl\"\n\t>\n\t<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 Parham Taghioff<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/architizer.com\/projects\/termeh-office-retail-building\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>TERMEH BUILDING<\/b><\/a> by <a href=\"http:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/ahmad-bathaei\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ahmad Bathaei<\/a> + <a href=\"http:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/farshad-mehdizadeh-architects\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Farshad Mehdizadeh Architects<\/a>, Hamadan, Iran<\/p>\n<p>The striking wave of this retail and office building adopted traditional bricklaying techniques to create its eye-catching stepped curves.
