Why in countries like america they like to use bricks to built the homes instead of concrete?
Question:has it got to do with weather?(i don't live in a temperate country so i'm not sure.) other than the fact that brick can create a nice look.
When concrete is faster to build with...why they choose brick?
Answers:
No, it has nothing to do with weather. We use bricks because the colonists used them from readily available clay and for aesthetic appeal. Today they add resale value to a home much like stone or stucco does, far more than vinyl, wood or aluminum siding. Concrete is used for commercial construction and modern, high end homes, not the ordinary residence.
In Austin, Texas, limestone is available in many different colors and shapes because it is quarried there and consequently does not have to be trucked from far away at great cost. There are lots of stone workers and bricklayers there to further reduce the cost of these materials.
Cause we have the luxury of choosing whatever type of material we want.
I have no idea why. I guess because it is what we have used for so long.
It's colder here. Brick houses tend to be warmer.
I don't know many homes made out of brick. I always assumed it was an outer layer.
I do think that it is mostly about the look. We can afford it, so why not?
^Is my concept of most people. I don't agree.

bricks are affordable
bricks are durable
bricks are easy to replace
bricks can make a pretty mosiac if used appropriately

u already answered your own question, concrete is generally ugly, and brick is aesthetically pleasing to look at. Concrete brick is just concrete that is dressed in a more pleasing form.
