One problem is the jumbos did not take into account normal hand size. A
standard or modular size brick fits nicely in your hand, jumbos don't.

In the 1970s Davis Brody and others introduced oversized brick, supposedly

projects like Waterside and Riverbend.
 
So how did that work out?       Christopher
