In the workshop, the pink brick utilizing the characteristics of a charcoal brick are fabricated. The results showed various possibilities of the brick, such as 1) the ease of the fabrication to upgrade the street corners, 2) the simple method that utilizes the waste materials, and 3) the conversion to interiors by taking advantages of the characteristics of the material. Unlike the progressive method using the red brick which mainly aims for building preservation, pink brick can be used for a new way of community development by its various characteristics to enhance participation.
