This paper dealts with two exemples of brickwork employment in Modern Architecture in the Netherlands. The study will examine two edifices built in Hilversum by arch. W.M. Dudok: the Town Hall, designed in 1924 and erected between 1929 and 1931, and the building for water-scooping pumps built in 1919. In the first one they were used bricks with special colour and dimention; their present bad conditions moved the dutch restorers to a total substitution of the external brick facing. The second one, built with usual bricks, is partly immersed in a pool for rain water; humidity and infesting vegetation cause main degradation. Specimens taken from both buildings (whether on original bricks or on replaced ones) were tested to verify their petrographic and physical features, the alteration processes and conservation conditions, as well as, concerning the Town Hall, the opportunity of restauration criteria.

Abstract
This paper dealts with two exemples of brickwork employment in Modern Architecture in the Netherlands. The study will examine two edifices built in Hilversum by arch. W.M. Dudok: the Town Hall, designed in 1924 and erected between 1929 and 1931, and the building for water-scooping pumps built in 1919. In the first one they were used bricks with special colour and dimention; their present bad conditions moved the dutch restorers to a total substitution of the external brick facing. The second one, built with usual bricks, is partly immersed in a pool for rain water; humidity and infesting vegetation cause main degradation. Specimens taken from both buildings (whether on original bricks or on replaced ones) were tested to verify their petrographic and physical features, the alteration processes and conservation conditions, as well as, concerning the Town Hall, the opportunity of restauration criteria.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
