Abstract

This paper presents the design process for an innovative modular brick unit, which was based on the principles of bioclimatic and environmentally-friendly architecture.

The design aims at creating an architecturally appealing component, which at the same time can fulfil various bioclimatic functions depending on the prevailing climatic conditions and the building requirements. The presented design proposal was a winning entry at the international architectural competition “Brick-stainable: Rethinking the Brick”, organised by Potomac Valley Brick.
