Inaugural Architect Collaboration Program
At our Materiality Book launch last Spring (request a complimentary copy!), architects were introduced to our inaugural Architect Shape Collaboration Program, inviting them to submit their own custom brick shapes for consideration into our Collab Program. Glen-Gery's Inaugural Architects Collaboration Program invited architects, designers and students to submit original designs for custom brick shapes, offering winners the opportunity to become honorary members of Glen-Gery’s Research & Development Team.
“Brick’s versatility allows it to take on unique architectural forms like no other material. Glen-Gery’s bricks, known for their precision, beauty and durability, can bring even the most imaginative concepts to life,” said Tim Leese, director of marketing at Glen-Gery. “We’re thrilled to launch our first-ever Architect Collaboration Program to showcase brick’s limitless design possibilities while fostering meaningful collaboration and education within the architecture community.” View our Brick Shape Catalog
Chosen for their creative and innovative designs, the winners of Glen-Gery’s Architect Collaboration Program include:
Brittany Macomber
"Trigon Brick"
Morris Adjmi Architects
The Trigon Brick is a modern interpretation of classic brick details found on structural masonry walls. The dimension and depth of the brick provide versatility, allowing the brick to be expressed on its own, or integrated with modular bricks to create unique patterns.
Edward Jose
"Curve"
Loci Architecture
The Curve is a simple elongated curved brick that can be laid in various wall configurations to achieve different surface effects. The curve of the shape allows its thinner profile to reduce material and weight in a typical brick veneer cavity wall assembly while still maintaining stability. Its convex and concave surfaces can affect sound waves in urban environments with noisy street conditions.
Justin Bright
"Facet Brick"
Gnome Architects
Opposite corners of the Facet Brick are chamfered to create a diagonal facet on the front face. Depending on the orientation and coursing, this simple unit offers various patterns and textural effects.
Colin Rupp
"The Weaver"
Gnome Architects
This shape utilizes an alternating bevel, all within a standard size. The mirrored detailing allows for a unique set of weaving textures and plays with solid/void.
