Bricks is a wep app to collect, organize and share visual bricks of projects. We want to revolutionize the way architects design projects, by leveraging collaboration and share culture.
2. Bricks is a web app that help
architects and creatives to organize
their visual inspirations with
reusable bricks of projects, they can
share with their team and the
design community.
Bricks is designed with simple principles :
- Visual and image based approach
- Designed for architecture & creatives
- Simple and elegant user Interface
- Collaboration made easy
- Maximise serendipity
2What is Bricks ?
3. Architects often get inspirations from the other
architects or reuse part of their past projects. But
they don’t have today, an efficient way to organize
their experience internally and share it with the
community.
They are lacking a true collaboration platform that
play the same role as github for developers.
We think that it is not a fatality, and started to
design Bricks in 2014, as an app that allow architects
to work in a more collaborative way.
Bricks allow to collect, organize and share design
ideas and inspirations and want to be "the github
for architects and creatives professionals".
How did the idea came from ? 3
4. A brick is a reusable element of a project like a stair,
a roof type, a facade…
Anything you can split to reuse in a future project.
On a brick you can:
- discuss with your team
- attach related files like drawing, 3D model...
- see in which project it has been used
- ....
Bricks allow you to collect inspirations images easily
from the web or from our integrated inspirations
library.
You can organize your Bricks with projects, layers,
and even define bricks relationships by cropping a
sub-element directly on an image.
4How does Bricks work ?

your project
