Abstract

In our article I tried to name history and evolution in creation of (burnt bricks). I focused on full brick which is the main building component since 1964. Since this year many more products have been created, these products replaced the full brick in some parts of construction yet it is still part of many buildings of different shapes and colours. I named the evolution progress until nowadays. The brick was at the birth of construction industry. It was 8300 years BC (before Christ). For the duration of 10.000 years it was main steppes material. It made its breakthrough in structure constructions. It made revolutionary construction Boom from low one story buildings up to many story buildings. Brick connects functionality with aesthetics, It pushed construction industry from material position which is subordinate to weather influences, to material which is able to withstand many centuries. It is recyclable, health wise friendly, antiallergic, fire-resistant, and chemically resistant. The brick became the main pillar for constructions from 19th century until nowadays. It has been used on many constructional sites. They resist the wind and weather influence they also have functional and esthetical value. Keywords: brick, history, full brick, material, desiccation, size.
