BrooklynMosaic-- Where did you hear this?
"Bricology" is related to "bricolage" French for collage or assemblage.
A little googling finds you this:

http://bricology.com/bricology.htm
bricolage ("brE-kO-'läzh, "bri-):
* construction or something constructed by using whatever comes to hand
* an assemblage improvised from materials ready to hand, or the practice of transforming 'found' materials by incorporating them into a new work"

Perhaps this some kind of conceptual performance construction! Maybe its not a development at all-- its a Pratt Senior thesis!

Ok ok Now back to the "Civil War Gem": This is so depressing--Does anyone have this developer's contact info? Is there anything we can do about this?! A shaming campaign? (not that developers have any sense of shame or propriety)

I saw 56 16 street a couple weeks ago: creepy with one or two nice details. 68 16th looks much, MUCH better but of course there's tenant. That block is depressing with big condo monstrosities on one end and Prospect express/3rd ave wastes at other.
