Imperial Bricks is delighted to announce the launch of its latest RIBA-accredited CPD, The Brick Tailor—an immersive and educational exploration of the texture, colour, composition, and history of the humble brick.
Rediscover the nation’s favourite building material, from its ancient Roman origins to its modern applications, and gain deeper insight into how brick continues to shape our architectural landscape.
This engaging CPD is available to be delivered both online and in person and provides architects, specifiers, and construction professionals with one hour’s worth of CPD credit.
An In-Depth Exploration of Brick
The Brick Tailor delves into the intricate details of brick composition, highlighting natural colour variations and the impact of different bonding patterns and mortar choices on a project’s final aesthetic. The session also covers traditional and modern processing techniques, showcasing how heritage-style bricks can be recreated for contemporary builds while maintaining authenticity and character.
Participants will gain a deeper understanding of texture and tone, learning how these elements interact with modern design principles to achieve outstanding results in both restoration, conservation and new-build projects.
The Future of Brick in Modern Architecture
As the built environment evolves, The Brick Tailor also explores the future of brickwork, particularly in architectural facades. The CPD examines how modern brick solutions enable design flexibility, fast-track installation, and a risk-free fit, key considerations for large-scale projects. Additionally, it discusses the importance of The Golden Thread in construction, ensuring compliance with new legislation and the latest safety standards while pushing the boundaries of creative brick design.
