Stereotomic vs Tectonic

Over this past weeks our class has had a discussion about stereotomic vs tectonic. I understand the concept of stereotomic, use of heavy construction, such as in Bemis, which uses Bricks to hold the rest of structure. I also understand the idea of tectonic as with the new building project that they are building on our campus, I forgot the name of it, but it is using tectonic construction with a brick veneer. So the brick have no significant purpose in holding up the structure. It was kind of interesting as now I notice more stereotomic construction especially with older buildings. Now we have a project and we are using a site in Newport News. In the site, you can really see and understand the stereotomic buildings and the tectonic buildings. But now I just need an idea for this last project............
