Minds Behind Design explores the design process behind architectural projects. Our latest episode features Gabe Deck, an architect from Gnome Architects, who discusses his actions when planning and designing a new piece of architecture.

For the first time in history, brick made it’s way to New York Fashion Week. In our Brickworks Design Studio on 5th Avenue, fashion and architecture collided in a space filled with prestigious architects, designers, and fashion symbols. We are honored to have had the opportunity to partner with HARMONIA, a brand that inspires and ignited the creative power of self-expression through their clothing designs, just as we wish to accomplish through brick. This iconic event showcased Glen-Gery’s new and popular brick products as we released our 2023 Brick Styles catalog, while corresponding clothing designs walked the runway for 300+ guests to experience.

During the exhibition, HARMONIA NY showcased 14 high fashion looks inspired by the 2023 Brick Styles Catalog and Glen-Gery's diverse portfolio of designer bricks, which are available in a wide array of colors, sizes and textures, including:

• Pitt Cafe Series - Glen-Gery's inaugural Brick Color of the Year which features a collection of soft, neutral-toned bricks inspired by 2023's nature-inspired color and design trends that embody warmth, coziness and texture.
• Altitude - The newest addition to Glen-Gery's Aviator Series which consists of several distinct monochromatic tone bricks with sharp contrasts that resemble those of early aircraft and aviation equipment.
• Blue Smooth Ironspot - A part of the Sioux City Blues Series, a range of dark blue-black, through-body bricks that makes any modern design a standout project. Varying weather and lighting brings out the inherent luster and sheen in each individual brick.
• True Gray Series - These cool, neutral, gray-toned, through-body color bricks were flawlessly created for those who seek a simple yet edgy aesthetic.
• Emporium+ Series - Natural light will bring out the luster of these lightly coated facebricks, available in wirecut and smooth finishes, and premium colors that add unrivaled quality and sophistication.
• Metallix Series - With its depth of color, the Metallix range reflects light on finished brickwork, creating a satin metallic sheen that glimmers and sparks immediate interest.
• Venetian Glass Brick - A range of brilliant, transparent, colored designer glass bricks inspired by the work of Venetian artisans.
