On 24 May 2007, “Brick: the exhibition” will showcase the future of the brick at the Groot Handelsgebouw in Rotterdam. The exhibition features bricks that go well beyond the traditional blocks around your fireplace, showcasing “true art inspired by brick as well as new, commercial designs suitable for further development within the brick industry.” To create the exhibit, the curators have invited designers from around the world to create innovative new brick designs. The bricks shown in the picture are fLORA-flex tiles, which illustrate the future of the brick: transparent, uniquely shaped, and hip.  Brick has been around for thousands of years and is still relevant today. Brick has always been the most obvious building material in use in the Netherlands. Not only is brick a high quality product, but the choice of colours, shapes and textures also inspires architects time and again. Now that the facade no longer has a structural supporting function, but is simply the skin of the building, brick can shake off its rectangular nature. And that is where the challenge lies... Could the new brick be round, hexagonal, perforated or transparent?
