1. An architectural enclosure composed of a structural element and an improved flexible brick sheet, the structural element comprising at least one first profile and multiple second profiles perpendicular to the first profile and the improved flexible brick sheet comprising:
a plurality of interwoven flexible rods forming a lattice of first rods parallel to each other attached to the at least one first profile and of second rods parallel to each other orthogonal to the first rods, and
a plurality of bricks provided with two main opposite sides of larger size, and four perimetric sides, at least two of the bricks are mutually opposing and include grooves as fastening configurations, each groove being accessible through an opening and provided with a bottom portion corresponding to part of the groove furthest away from the opening, the grooves running along the perimetric sides having a larger length, the grooves containing at least parts of some of the rods to retain the bricks in the lattice;
characterized in that
some of the first rods are facing the second profiles their entire lengths, and are joined thereto at regular intervals by clamps, the clamps being attached to the second profiles and surrounding portions of the first rod keeping the second rods from sliding along the first rods through the clamp.
