You would be wise to put fibrous cement sheeting on the walls first to give you a more reliable and uniform surface for fastening the tiles. tiles directly on to wood is risky to say the least.

How do you install ceramic tile floors?
If you have never installed a ceramic tile floor before, I would highly recommend hiring a professional to do it for you. If you don't want to do that, companies that sell ceramic tiles, such as www.BuyTile.com, can probably advise you on the best way to do it yourself. For example, site's FAQ even includes advice on hiring someone to do the installation. Good luck!
Can you install wooden floors over ceramic tile?
You are better off ripping out the tiles first. If you really want to lay the hardwood over the tiles, first lay down 3/4 plywood so you have something to staple the new floor to. The ply is glued down with PL, and then screwed into the tiles/sub floor. You will need to pre drill with a masonary bit, and screw in every 12 inches. Seems like more work than ripping the tiles out. And adds an extra 3/4 + tile height + hardwood - how will that transition to other rooms?
Do new brick houses have steel or wood frames?
Unless it is a commercial building a normal house would not have a steel frame. It would have wood. If you were to look at your wall, what you initially see is 'drywall' when that is pulled off you will see insulation, when that is pulled out you will see wires (electrical do NOT touch unless the electricity in the whole house is off. If you do not know about electricity don't even attempt this!!) you will then see wood framing, that will be screwed to the brick or somehow otherwise attached. Please do not attempt to rip down walls without consulting a professional. You need certain permits to remove certain walls, or the house structure will be compromised. Get a contractor or a carpenter in your house to access if the wall can be removed!

Yes, but I wouldn't recommend it. You will regret it later. Tile needs a cement base to adhere to. A wooden base is not good for ceramic tiles.
