Paper is a kind of material with characteristics that can be both common and special. However, a brand new challenge for paper is to present it in a special way through solidification treatment and moulding. Thereby, the properties of paper and brick are conflated through casting, from presenting, developing to strengthening. When the paper is presented in a brick shape, it is weak but also strong, soft but hard.
