A spotlight on brick architecture

Heimo Scheuch, CEO wienerberger

After years of waiting, the headquarters of the Students Association Trondheim has finally been expanded – with functioning materials and a striking design.

Playfulness is key: with an astonishing façade of matte white terracotta panels and colourful aspects this school excites pupils and staff alike.

Waving across the cityscape like an accordion, the apartments of the Accordion Houses provide visually appealing, high-quality living in Frederiksberg.

Carrying its vibrant history into a new, contemporary spatial experience – this is how thoughtful paving redefined the centre of Tegelen.

Clad in elegant roof tiles, this high-rise offers more than hundred smart apartments for the many students of Tampere.

Adding an in-roof solar-system to its freshly renovated roof, this German school makes a step into a renewable and visually striking future. 

Defying the strong winds and sea salt, this family home stands on the fjord – as if it had always been there, only with a modern touch of bright red roof tiles.

Tailored to the neighbourhood, these Bungalows achieve a traditional brickwork aesthetic while meeting the highest technological requirements.

Nestled amidst a centuries-old pine forest, these modern houses strike a balance between upscale living and nature conservation – not least thanks to their ceramic skin.

Combining sustainability and future-proof design, these 28 social homes were built with fully circular materials. The architect shares his approach.

This building sets an example of how modern architecture can function in listed areas – by responding to topography, history and materiality.

Setting milestones in building high-rises: only clay blocks were used to create the load-bearing structure of these eight-storey buildings.
