Air is an insulator of heat and prevents outside heat from entering the house.
Concrete
At the early stage of its construction only large size of unburnt bricks and plaster were used with wooden parasol (chatrayasshti). Thereafter stones were used in making gateway (34 feet high) (2)
there are 500 bricks are counted for 1 m
Flemish bond wall construction is not as strong as the English bond brick wall.In a Flemish Bond wall, alternate header and stretcher are laid in every course of the bricks, header bricks being centrally placed between the stretcher bricks in a course and between the stretchers of the top and bottom courses.See the pic in related link for the intersection in Flemish Bond wall construction.
Mortar is what is used to stick bricks together.
Yes, but . . . There are two kinds of hollow bricks. One is for veneer only, the other is used for structural construction.
The red clay brick is better than hollow brick for construction of apartments. Because bands should be constructed at every 5-10 feet height if we adopt hollow bricks. Moreover, red clay bricks have higher strength than hollow bricks.

waste of bricks and cement can be used
Mortar is a mixture of cement, sand, and water that is applied between bricks to bond them together in construction. It acts as a glue, holding the bricks in place and providing strength and stability to the structure.
Yes. they are. although organic material is sometimes used in their construction.
Hollow bricks are used as air is a good insulator. Thick walls are used to reduce heat loss to the surroundings as the brick is also a poor conductor of heat. (although not as much effective as air)
Yes, bricks were used in Renaissance architecture as a common building material, particularly in northern Europe where there was a tradition of brick construction. Bricks were used in the construction of buildings such as churches, palaces, and townhouses during this period.
Water bottle bricks can be effectively used in sustainable construction projects by replacing traditional building materials with these eco-friendly bricks. These bricks are made by stuffing plastic bottles with non-biodegradable waste, such as plastic bags, and can be used as building blocks for walls, benches, or other structures. By using water bottle bricks, construction projects can reduce the amount of plastic waste in landfills and promote a more sustainable building practice.
Wood, cement, aggregates, metals, bricks, concrete, clay are the most common type of building material used in construction

Depends on how old the bricks are, because it counts a psychological problem : Will the bricks stand the construction? Will the building fall on my head?
