'brick: a world history'
i was glad to have come across this after having been on a walk in canterbury in chris seaber's tuturial group while he pointed out the finer details of rubbed and gauged brickwork
james w p campbell and will pryce have produced a wonderful book on a great building material and my only complaint is that it's physically too big and heavy
the bibliographic essay feels authoritative and includes the following-:
gunter pfiefer - masonry construction manual (2001)
gerald lynch - brickwork: history, technology and practice (1994)
gerald lynch - gauged brickwork (1990)
a w lawrence - greek architecture (1996)
anthony matthews - roman building: materials and techniques (1994)
ingrid d rowland - vitruvius: ten books on architecture (1999)
william l madonald - the architecture of the roman empire (198)
rowland mainstone - hagia sophia (1988)
rowland mainstone - the development of structural form (1998)
stephen blake - half the world (1999)
david stravitz - the chrysler building (2002)
gautan bhatia - laurie baker (1994)
