What I would like to see is something where we could build roofs of varying
slope degree and have short pieces where we could build in a small attic
study part, or something like that.
The only problem I can see is it may well end up being a series of special
purpose slope bricks whose only practical use is for changing slopes from
one to the other. I do remember some photos of old style buildings that had
various roof slopes on the same building, I think this is more prevalent
where the ground slopes steeply enough that part of a building is built at a
different floor level than the other, and you end up with stepped roofing,
and occasionally, different sloped roofs joining up to each other.
An inverted form of the same bricks might be useful for Cathedral interiors,
however, it's unlikely to happen, given that most architectural styles
requiring bricks fitting this description are rare in real life. It might
also be a mold-maker's nightmare too. :-)
