BUILDING MATERIALS & CONSTRUCTIONintermediate
Definition
A pattern of rectangular blocks (typically wood or stone) laid alternately at angles to create a V-shaped weaving pattern. Herringbone patterns are both functional (providing structural strength) and visually distinctive.
Example
Herringbone brick paving is commonly seen in plazas and courtyards, creating a dynamic visual pattern while providing structural stability.
