This proposal sought to create a new vernacular for a modern brick. Tasked with creating a fabricated module that is replicated into a wall assembly, this new module has a series of grooves that descend/ascend into the opposite direction, creating a mechanism that locks the next brick into place without the need for fasteners or a secondary structural system. The assembly of bricks creates a 'flutter' effect when the user passes by. The additional glazing further adds to the visual effect.

Team: Marco Nieto, Mackenzie Bruce, Gabrielle Clune, and Jeffrey Richmond.
