Images of Daozhi or Prefabricated Brick Houses

Currently, images of daozhi or prefabricated brick houses cannot be directly provided, but relevant cases of prefabricated brick houses can be introduced:

Prefabricated brick houses can be classified into various types based on the usage of bricks and the degree of prefabrication. Here are some representative cases:

1. Brick facade, fully prefabricated:

   • The Garden Halls student accommodation at the University of London is a typical example. In this project, the design of the prefabricated components is highly ingenious, with the three-story spandrel panels designed as a single integrated component. This design not only enhances construction efficiency but also ensures the neatness and uniformity of the building's appearance. By adopting full prefabrication, the complexity and errors of on-site construction are reduced, thereby improving the building quality.

2. Brick facade, facade-only prefabrication:

   • The Hoxton Press residential twin towers in London demonstrate the application of facade-only prefabrication. In this case, the undersides of the balconies feature prefabricated brick facade panels. This design preserves the texture and aesthetic appeal of bricks while leveraging prefabrication technology to accelerate construction speed. The prefabricated panels can be precisely manufactured to meet design specifications, thereby enhancing the overall architectural beauty.

3. Brick facade, base-layer-only prefabrication:

   • The Ling She (Tianjin, China) project adopts a base-layer-only prefabrication approach. In this building, one of the three volumes features a thick brick exterior shell that is actually a timber-framed and light-wood structural wall. This design combines the durability of bricks with the flexibility of timber structures. By prefabricating the base-layer walls and applying the brick facade on-site, both construction quality and efficiency are ensured.

4. Brick body, fully prefabricated:

   • The Zomorrod 11 movable brick wall in Iran is an innovative example. In this project, the brick wall is fully prefabricated and movable. This design is suitable for scenarios requiring flexible spatial layout adjustments, such as temporary exhibitions and event venues. The fully prefabricated brick wall not only ensures structural stability but also facilitates transportation and installation.

5. Brick body, facade-only prefabrication and Brick body, base-layer-only prefabrication:

   • The TR House project in Barcelona, Spain, utilizes Flexbrick, a cladding product that串s bricks together with metal wires to form the facade, falling under the category of brick body with facade-only prefabrication. In contrast, the Lilly Rose residential project adopts prefabricated brick walls with other finishes applied on-site, representing the brick body with base-layer-only prefabrication approach. Both designs showcase the flexible application of prefabrication technology in brick houses.
