Abstract EN:
The expansion of brick building between the xii and xv century leads, after taking into consideration the manufacture of the material itself, to the eximination of how it was actually used. General observation, refined by examinig regional particularities reveals reat differences that can't be explained by geological factors alone. It is necessary to understand how the expense of the material was compensated, and also to take into account the mudejar phenomenon, which, in fact, in no way explain the choice of the brick. On the one hand, it is obvious that there is a certain attacment to the ancient roman world, later reinforced by proballe italian influences relayed by the cistercians ; but the definitive success of the material was certainly achieved throuygh the elaboration of specific construction techniques for this material.
Abstract FR:
L'essor que connait la construction de brique entre le xiieme et le xveme siecle amene, apres avoir considere les conditions de fabrication du materiau a examiner les modalites de sa mise en oeuvre. Les constats objectifs affines par la prise en compte de donnees regionales, font apparaitre des disparites fortes que les considerations geologiques ne suffisent pas a justifier. Il faut tenter de comprendre ce qui peut compenser la cherte relative du materiau. Et prendre en compte le phenomene mudejar qui n'explique en fin de compte d'aucune maniere le choix de la brique. On ne peut que constater, en revanche, une certaine fidelite au monde romain antique, et de probables influences italiennes relayees par les cisterciens, mais en fin de compte, c'est sans doute l'elaboration de technique de construction specifiques, qui assurent le succes definitil du materieau.
