砖在现代建筑中的应用，离不开设计师对砖的充分挖掘和对它特性的利用。现代建筑大师路易斯·康曾这样描述它：“建筑师的职责是让每一块砖头回归到它自己的位置，建筑师不是在圆自己的梦，而是在帮助砖头完成它们的梦想。” 设计师以巧妙多变的组合手法结合现代工艺，营造出令人惊艳的视觉美感，赋予了建筑独特的个性。

The application of bricks in modern architecture can not be separated from the full exploitation of bricks and the utilization of their characteristics by designers. Louis Kahn, a modern architect, once described it as follows: "The responsibility of an architect is to let each brick return to its own position. Architects are not fulfilling their dreams, but helping bricks achieve their dreams." The designer combines the ingenious and varied combination techniques with modern technology to create a stunning visual beauty and endow the building with a unique personality.

钢美术馆

SSAD建筑事务所保留了原有八十年代的现代主义建筑形态，在原建筑结构基础上使用代表老工业基地气息的红砖和耐候钢作为建筑地域元素，运用当代设计逻辑在建筑表皮上使用的“漏”、“平”、“突”的特点，赋予建筑独有气质，打造工业氛围浓厚的艺术发源地。

红砖串联古今 | EYST 1779 咖啡馆 / T-FP

EYST1779 的建筑理念的关键在于砖。砖是长期以来最广泛应用的材料之一，在未来也仍旧如此。因此，我们认为砖是契合项目主题——联系过去与未来——的合适材料。我们选择了与周围环境相协调的红砖，而且使用了红砖的整个体量也有很强的存在感。地面、墙壁和顶棚均由砖砌成，更加清晰并强烈地表达出这个场地的身份和印象。此外，我们认为逐块砌砖也可以类比为时间的堆积。在地板、墙壁、门/窗框、吧台、照明等处采用的现代图案和不锈钢点缀，则是对未来的隐喻。

The key of EYST1779's architectural concept is bricks. Brick is one of the most widely used materials for a long time, and it will remain so in the future. Therefore, we believe that bricks are the appropriate materials to fit the project theme - linking the past with the future. We chose red bricks that are in harmony with the surrounding environment, and the whole volume using red bricks also has a strong sense of existence. The floor, walls and ceiling are made of bricks, which more clearly and strongly express the identity and impression of the site. In addition, we believe that brick laying can also be compared to the accumulation of time. Modern patterns and stainless steel embellishments used in floors, walls, door/window frames, bars, lighting, etc. are metaphors for the future.
