Brick is a building material made from molded clay, which is then baked in a kiln to harden it. Bricks are often used in construction for walls, foundations, chimneys, and fireplaces due to their durability, strength, and resistance to fire. In architecture, bricks can be used in various forms, such as whole bricks, half bricks, or even as decorative elements like brick arches and brick veneers. Bricks can also come in different colors, textures, and shapes, allowing for creative design possibilities in architecture.
