In construction, facade is one of the most important parts of a building. Because we all see the facade of a building first, and if you have noticed, if a building has an attractive facade, we are very eager to see the interior of that building as well. But if the building does not have a good view, that desire will also disappear. Many facades have historical value or are in a way that takes people to the past, such as the facade of a brick building. The facade of the brick building is very old.
Actually, it is not possible to say exactly how old the brick facades date back to, but one of the famous ancient buildings can be mentioned, which is the Kasri arch. It is believed that the early humans discovered the properties and method of preparing bricks after observing the cooking of mud next to their stoves and seeing that the cooked mud was stronger than the lumps next to it.
With confidence It can be said that brick is one of the materials that can be seen in every corner of our traditional architecture, and its use in today's facades is a reminder of the past and this is a valuable topic for many of us Iranians.

The so-called bricks are small units of building materials that are generally in the form of rectangular blocks. which are often made of clay based on minerals or other additives and are used together with cement mortar in construction. The brick is about 4 inches wide and 8 inches long and consists of different thicknesses. The dimensions of the bricks are such that they can be easily locked together. This feature has caused this material to have a unique efficiency in order to implement wide openings in the form of arches, vaults and domes, which have been popular in Iran since before the Sassanids.
