From the building different methods of construction could be seen. From the photos we can witness the cross over from mansory bricks to sandstone bricks. It seems from the building the sandstone bricks were used for the base of the building and used to support the masonary bricks on the upper levels. Mansonary bricks building have a certain height limit before it will become dangerous therefore sandstone brcks are used to elevate it to a certain height.
Masonary bricks in this building is also used for decoration purposes. The overhangs and extrusions where all made from bricks. This will give a uniform image throughout the whole building which will emphasise the ideas of minimalism. The type of bond used is the English Styled bond with different sized bricks on every row. The arch stlye used in this building is the segemental arch. The styles fit together to give the building a traditional and cultural look.
The drainage pipes of this building is embedded into the exterior walls in order to maintain a smoother surface through the face of the wall. This shows that the building was carefully calculated in terms of the number of bricks and dimensions of the whole building.
