The Application of Brick Building Art in Vernacular Architecture

At present, there have already been some researches on the understanding and application of bricks. But with the continuous progress of the times, the use of bricks gradually transformed from load-bearing and building maintenance to decorative art, which is the embodiment of brick building art. By studying the application of brick in local architecture, the researchers found that there were still many cases of applying brick structure in local architecture, old-fashioned and dry, though. Based on the research from the attributes of brick, the way of expression, cultural embodiment and the application of ancient buildings, this paper manifests that the brick building art has great potential in vernacular architecture, thus it is necessary to combine culture with architecture, and explore more possibilities of brick building art in modern society.
