about

During the 18th and 19th centuries, British bricklayers became aware that, by thickening the vertical mortar joint between regularly shaped bricks from bottom to top, they could construct an elliptical arch of useful strength. The bricks used in such an arch are often referred to as "voussoirs".

Bevelled edges of each stone block emphasise the voussoirs, which have a curved base and together form a semi-circle at the top of each arch. Architecture begins when you connect two bricks. This is where it all begins.
