Analysis: The whole church was constructed by nearly six million yellow bricks which are typical Danish building material. The facade of the church was an impressive representation of brick art, bricks vertically point up to the sky which create a sense of awe to the visitors. The interior of the church was influenced by the Gothic architecture which has a long nave, a transept and two aisles. All the parts of the church except roofs and footings are made by bricks, different sized bricks arranged in different ways to create an extraordinary space inside.
Analysis:The whole outer wall of the library was made by light beige bricks with several large-format windows. The facade of the building was designed to present perforated-masonry brickworks and windows to let the light in which offer readers a peaceful reading atmosphere, and also reinforce the monolithic of the whole building. These handmade bricks present variations in color with lighter and darker outcomes which provides a sense of beauty.

Description of selected brick: These kinds of bricks take the strong look and feel of industrial design into new residential spaces. As the name suggests, they are also the incarnation of sturdiness and durability. They also have a standard Australian sized dimension which can be used in building the wall in this assignment. And they are all manufactured in Melbourne which allows us to build it in the real life.
