Rethinking brickwork as a contemporary technology : An advanced construction artisan campus in the inner-city of Pretoria

The focus of this dissertation is primarily a technological enquiry in which brickwork is reconsidered as a contemporary technology that is expressed tectonically, with consideration of local specificity. It is argued that this reconsideration positions the dissertation within the ever-expanding discourse of craft. The rich brick tradition as evident in Pretoria, will also be contextualised as it influences how the design discussed in the dissertation responds to the context.
