About This Book
The text offers practical and aesthetic guidance for domestic architecture, emphasizing durable and attractive brick and terra-cotta work. It presents three parts: a narrative reflection on household spaces and ornament, a catalogue of moulded and specialised brick forms with sizes, profiles, and decorative possibilities, and a section on terra-cotta and hollow-tile fireproofing for structural protection. Plates and quotations accompany proposals for porches, chimneys, sills, cornices, and garden features, while listings of clay products and production capabilities advise builders and designers on material choices and custom fabrication.
