Articulation accentuates the visible aspect of the different parts of a building. Sometimes the effect completely obscures the sense of the whole, breaking it down into too many pieces, but in most cases the articulation expresses a balance between the two.

An articulation joint is a vertical gap between panels of brick wall so that the bricks can expand and contract with changes in temperature and/or allows for movement in the framework or footings. AJ prevents build-up of pressure and eventually cracking of walls, jamming windows/doors by accommodating the various movements that occur in a building.

2014年3月26日 · When you are looking round your new home build you may think “What’s that gap between the window and the brickwork?” . . . . . . .or even “Why is there a vertical gap between the bricks in the middle of the wall?” Before you panic it might be worth checking if it is an Articulation Joint. Why Are There Articulation Joints?

2025年1月17日 · It’s a recent build made for Brickscalibur, where I wanted to make a slightly scaled-up brick-built dwarven figure. I went through MOCs from different builders around the community and found useful connections that I could incorporate into the build to give it a look I …

‘Articulation’ is the process of stepping and recessing external walls of a building in plan and in section. This process essentially creates more corners and edges to a building, which reduces the potential for the presentation of large expanses of blank walls.

Articulation involves dividing the walls into panels separated by vertical joints that allow movement and thus reduce the risk of cracking. Footing movement is typically caused by swelling and shrinking of the foundation material. Thus the risk of movement depends on the extent to which the foundation soil reacts to changes in moisture content.

They have articulated the brick facades with distinct patterns, bonds, and other features to enhance the aesthetics. Before Modern Architecture, even utilitarian buildings, including residential and commercial buildings, featured ornate elements on the facades.

Brick veneer construction is very brittle and susceptible to cracking due to movement. Movement occurs for many different reasons, including variations in climate or temperature, movement in the frame and movement in the foundations. Articulation joints …
