ARCH 1162 - "Bricks as Image" part 4 (104 George Street Sydney New South Wales)

This building is primarily focused on the English style brick layout. Different types of bricks were also used throughout the building to achieve different colours for decoration reasons. The arch of the building is the semi circular arch for the symmetrical and circular feeling.
We could see from the exterior of the building the bricks used were done in different repetitive layers of sandstone and masonry bricks. This will also create a repetition in colour throughout the whole building.
The arch present in this building provides a circular walkway into the building making the atmosphere very welcoming. The idea of symmetry also runs through the building. The symmetry creates harmony around the building making it seem like a proportionally balanced building.
The bricks within this building could be both structural and decorative however over the years the interior materials have changed. Like in the images you could see plaster walls within the building. That could mean that the building could been through state of the art upgrades since when it was being built.
