Summary:
«The present volume aims to introduce students systematically to the subject of masonry. Bricks and mortar, the elemental basic components, are used to devise rules for building a wall. The emphasis is on the overall systems and material-dependent properties that are essential for understanding a 'wall'. The interplay of bricks, the forms of masonry bonds, and the aesthetic of masonry walls with apertures, projections and recesses are explained soundly and methodically - from brick to wall - so that students can understand the essence of masonry and apply their insights directly to their designs and projects.» Bert Bielefeld, Editor

Summary:
Deeply moved by the severe earthquake of April 6th, 2009, the teachers and students of the Faculty of Architecture of Pescara searched for ways in which to help the people affected.
