Week5

This building is located in Harris St, which is very near to Star City. The reason I chose this building is that I am interested in the decoration of the building.
The cream coloured bricks under the windows are tiled in a way that is similar to what you would usually see on footpaths, which are not supporting each other and have no structural significance. As there is no support for this type of decoration, there is a concrete slab right under the bricks to hold them in place. Moreover, because traditional bricks are 110x76x230, this type of brick is not able to produce the above type of decoration. Jumbo brick, which has a longer length, are more capable to arrange in this type of wall.
