Designed and made by Maria Gasparian, the trophy for annual Brick Awards, which celebrate best brick architecture, embodies the creative possibilities of brick as a material.
The geometry of the piece is based on the idea that brick can be read on both a micro and macro scale, with the base of the trophy representing a house: a structure made out of brick.
