EXPOSED BRICKWORK (WITHOUT PLASTER AT EXTERIOR OR INTERIOR) • Baker thought that it is very foolish practice to build a brick wall and then plaster it with cement and then paint it all over to make it look “beautiful”! • He never hides his brick walls under dull plaster. Rather he made beautiful pattern on his exposed walls with recycled materials like coloured glass, pieces of tiles etc. • In his words, “I just think it is plain stupidity to build a brick wall, plaster it all over and then paint lines on it to make it look like a brick wall. • They think it is equally untruthful to cover it all over with tiles shaped to look like bricks. Or another variation of untruthfulness is to plaster it and then paint it to look like marble!” Chengalchoola slum colony
EXPOSED BRICKWORK (WITHOUT PLASTER AT EXTERIOR OR INTERIOR) • In his other words,”Bricks to me are like faces. All of them are made of burnt mud, but they vary slightly in shape and colour. • They think these small variations give tremendous character to a wall made of thousands of bricks, so I never dream of covering such a unique and characterful creation with plaster, which is mainly dull and characterless. • They like the contrast of textures of brick, of stone, of concrete, of wood.” 9 Interior of The Hamlet Interior of The Hamlet Interior of The Hamlet
