Brick wins! Part 1

The national Brick Industry Association (BIA) recently announced the winning projects entered into its 2020 Brick in Architecture Awards — the country’s most prestigious architectural awards competition focusing on genuine clay brick. You can check out all the winning designs from brick manufacturers all over the U.S. (and world) on the BIA website, but we’d like to use this blog post to highlight those brick companies who are members of BIA’s Heartland Region.
