Films
Basic Bricklaying: (16mm, color, 12 minutes) An excellent primer on bricklaying fundamentals and basic tools. After comparing some good and bad examples of workmanship, the film shows the use of trowel, line, level, spacing rule, corner pole, jointing tools and hammer and set; demonstrates spreading and furrowing, laying brick, laying trigs, jointing, cutting brick and keeping bond. Ends with colorful array of some "end product" brickwork.

Earth and Fire: (16mm, color, 12 minutes) A sparkling analysis of architectural principles which visually explores five separate sequences: tradition-use of traditional colors in traditional architecture; modernity-use of traditional colors in contemporary architecture; pattern-interplay between colors and patterns; light-changing color values created by different lights; and color color without ucts. Provides excellent esthetic relief from classroom mechanics. 75.00 ea.
Clay and Craftsmanship: (16mm, color, 20 minutes) Traces masonry guilds, which have built the great empires of the world-from Babylon, Rome, the Great Wall of China, to London and Colonial America.
100.00 ea.
Concepts in Clay: (16mm, color, 23 minutes) Opening with scenes of manufacturing procedures, the film moves colorfully through a brief history of early architectural use of clay in residential areas, commercial buildings, and loadbearing structures. Traces the advent of structural design theories which relegated brick to the "skin" or surfacing materials category; then brings us up to date, with shots of the latest thin-walled brick highrise buildings.

Prologue in Masonry: (16mm, black and white, 24 minutes) An unusual story of clay masonry structures beginning with the Sumerian civilization of 2000 B.C. An excellent historical background artfully prepared by architects David Rosenthal and Casper Neer, AIA. Music by renowned jazz guitarist Charlie Byrd. 75.00 ca.
Principles of Architectural Composition: (16mm, color, 20 minutes)-Brings textbook architecture to the screen; analyzes the primary architectural semantics-scale, proportion, sequence, rhythm, unity, character, style as typified by existing build-
