Zusammenfassung:	Are bricks passé? Or is the contemporary world just failing to realise the innate possibilities of this ancient material? Eladio Dieste once ardently stated that brick is ‘a material with unlimited possibilities, almost completely ignored by modern technology.’1 Dieste's careful inclusion of the word ‘almost’ here seems to suggest that he suspected some exceptions to the rule – that there may have been some previously untold modern technological dabblings with brick. With this in mind, Defne Sunguroglu acknowledges the innovative uses of brick in the past, and introduces her current research project: Complex Brick Assemblies.
