砖贴面旨在模仿砌体砖的审美品质,同时更便宜,更轻且更稀释。然而,直到近期,由于面板的刚性背衬,这种越来越受欢迎的材料的使用仍然限于直线形状而不是柔性形式。通过利用一个小巧的新颖的设计细节 - 在钢丝上装订砖 -Flexbrick推动面板砖的优点是戏剧性的一步,导致预制的卷珠面料,为建立大规模的外观屏幕提供了不可预见的可能性。

Excited by the possibilities of this façade material, we spoke with Vicente Sarrablo, the creator of Flexbrick, to understand how it may be harnessed in creating beautifully light perforated brick façades.

Flexbrick’s revolutionary potential lies in the fact that it takes small pieces of brick and sets them into a large-format textile, meaning contractors do not have to lay them one by one. Weighing only 40kg per square-meter, this brick ‘fabric’ allows architects “to design and construct using large-scale formats of up to 20 meters,” which facilitates an incredible breadth of design possibilities. As an open design system, Flexbrick invites designers to mold, push and expand its limits along façades, pavement, roofing and other continuous surfaces.

若干建筑师已经利用了该系统来创造令人惊叹的砖屏,不仅提供了保护,阴影和通风的建筑,而且还定于突破结构规范的外墙。一些非凡的例子包括Ampliación escuela Teresianas-GanduxerbyPicharchitects.TR HousebyPMMT Architecture, which uses Flexbrick with a green ceramic finish to create a verdant pergola.

While the creation of a customized Flexbrick façade will depend on a slew of considerations, the process can be boiled down into a few digestible bites.

必须在设计的绘图阶段期间考虑思考,以便您可以妥善容纳您建筑物的脸部或“斗篷”的材料。选择砖块的尺寸和配置将取决于您计划应用它的位置以及需要多少密度。它将一个建筑项目转变为艺术项目的某些东西:设计师选择他们的“画布”以及他们将使用的涂料类型,然后必须决定建筑物表面涂层后的面积将留下白色。

FlexBricks采用三种标准格式提供,安全地放置并固定在钢网的槽中。每个瓷砖在面积上为243 x 97毫米,厚度均为243 x 97毫米,范围为30-40毫米。可提供可定制的元素,提供纹理表面的令人难以置信的变化。Flexbrick织物的元素密度可以在10%至100%的任何地方。较低的密度将导致太阳过滤增加,而更高的密度将提供增加的阴影。

“FlexBrick可用于通过组合多个结构配置和颜色来创建模式。与塔楼上的音符一样,网格上的陶瓷瓦片可以自由地布置在间隙中,从而实现比砖层建造的传统jalousie更大的品种。Sarrablo说,它还呈现了各种颜色,色调和釉面表面,“Sarrablo说。

Designed as an innovative solution for architects, Flexbrick makes the process of creating a ventilating screen façade shockingly easy. Sarrablo remarks that installing a Flexbrick textile “is similar to hanging a curtain.” Highly flexible, the fabric may be folded and stored onto pallets before being transported to the building site.

At the worksite, the fabric is unrolled directly onto the structure, through a process that involves elevating the brick textile on a crane, laying it down and fixing it to weighted anchors. Once installed, “the system is very safe, as the installation of each retaining anchor involves weaving two adjacent sheets together, acting as a safety device in the case of seismic activity.”

Flexbrick asks architects to rethink the role of brick as a design product and in turn, what panelized and large-format products should endeavor to do. In choosing to create a screen façade, the considerations you must mull over will remain largely embedded in your aesthetic preferences. Luckily, Flexbrick allows architects to imagine a unique interlocking sheath of customizable brick and provides a malleable canvas for creating stunning, airy façades.
