The Art of Masonry / Mauerwerkskunst - Kunst des Mauerns

Brick masonry is not only a question of building physics, building construction and durability, i.e. sustainability, but has much to do with aesthetics and making sense, which may have been forgotten in modern architecture with its absolute lack of décor. Masonry as an art form has been scarce since the era of brick expressionism. Recently, there have been some exceptions - and thoroughly welcome. The “Fjordenhus” in Vejle, Denmark, is an astonishing example.
