Brick screen wall, New Delhi, by Anagram Architects

This brick screening wall by Anagram Architects, New Delhi, is a reminder of how imaginatively brick can be used. I’m not a fan of brick, and that’s an understatement, but context is everything. They work in places where the red soil from which they’re made is evident, and that’s not Vancouver. This wall flanks the South Asian Human Rights Documentation Centre, a Delhi-based NGO. It’s strangely reminiscent of the wall in Harry Potter whose bricks rotate in a complicated sequence and then magically open out onto Diagon Alley. The bricks in this wall, too, seem to be moving. From Indian by Design.
