Think Brick Sustainability Blog

The About Face 2010 entries are now online for peer review.

The About Face Award is Think Brick Australia’s invitation-only design ideas competition intended to encourage innovative Australian architects to push the boundaries of traditional brick design and present original ways of using brick in a contemporary environment.

Six leading architects have designed a residential property that challenges the notion of the ‘project home’ and how we might shift the paradigm of how we live today, while emphasizing the artistic, environmental and versatile capacity of clay brick use.

View their submissions and (architects) please vote for the entry you believe best answers the brief at www.aboutfaceawards.com.au
