Coast Guard Building, New York.
Running Bond, Raked Joint. Header courses running vertically every meter which suggests the brick is being used structurally. I've included this image as an example of brick because of its unique use of blue and beige bricks which acknowledge design and reference the building's proximity to the coast.
Factory, Annandale.
Running Bond, Curved Joint. Motley assortment of brick colours. Non structural brickwork. Rendering of the brick appears to be an afterthought and not very effective or neat. The headers of the bricks are assembled to embellish the topmost part of the buiding.
Apartament building, New York.
Running Bond. Raked Joint. Non structural use of brick. It seemed rare that brick was used in the construction of sky scrapers so i included this image.
Apartment building, Redfern.
Flemish bond, flush joint. Light brown colour. Curved gauged arches over windows. The verticality expressed in the joints between the headers highlight the height of the building as does the design of the pillars running from the footings to the roof. Parts of the building appear stained by smoke and ash, but i can't be entirely sure.
Medina Hotel, Crown Street, Surry Hills.
Running Bond, Raked joints. Flat gauged arches above the windows. The different brick colors (dark and light brown) and the cylindrical reception of the hotel is ornamental, not structural, again achieved in a running bond brickwork.
Surry Hills.
English Bond, Concave Joint. Flat gauged arches above windows. Coarse, motley, lightly coloured brick is reminicent of Colonial Australian architecture as is the general design of the building.
