When \;the city \;burned down in&n bsp\;the Great Chicago Fire in \;1871\, it was rebuilt as a city of br ick\, mostly using bricks made from the clay right underneath the young ci ty's feet. But as much as we may think of a brick as a simple rectangle th at holds our buildings up\, it is actually so much more \;&mdash\;&nbs p\;it is an object of design\, each brick a brushstroke in the canvas of a building. \;

\n

Journey across Chicago and architecture history& nbsp\;and \;learn how fashion in brick changes just as much as fashion in clothing\, from monolithic temples covered in solid red bricks to Engl ish cottages bedecked with bark-textured multicolored bricks\, to sleek to wers clad in rich\, iron-flecked bricks\, \;and more. \;

\n

I llustrated by more than 100 gorgeous photographs\, this history will leave you looking at the humble brick with wonder. \;

\n

This program will be recorded. \;
