In 1920, brick was used as a structural component. Today, steel and concrete are used because of their structural advantages. Clay products are used as an aesthetic element. Thin brick uses over 70% less resources to manufacture than full bed brick. If the brick is purely for aesthetics, why sacrifice the time, energy, and resources when so much of the brick is hidden?
