The brick is defined, as it is shown in FIG. 4., by the three Cartesian coordinates X, Y, Z, wherein the horizontal axis X defines length, the vertical axis Y defines height, the horizontal axis Z defines width.
The brick has a superior horizontal surface (1) (FIGS. 1. y 3.), a inferior horizontal surface (2) (FIG. 3.), a vertical anterior surface (3) (FIG. 1.), a vertical posterior surface (4) (FIG. 1.), and two lateral vertical surfaces (5) (FIGS. 1. y 3.).
