actually i find that a lot of the time you build better when you aren't worrying about whether the way you're building is spamming or not
that aside, i'm not saying use 1x1x5s all over your build. i'm saying you can and should use big bricks when possible, but don't sacrifice quality for spam.

Even if the build is good spam makes lag either way, and no one likes it.

I'm really not sure you know what you're talking about.
You won't lag from simply bricks unless you've:
-got a really bad computer
-are making a seriously huge build and building with no regards to the brick count
-are emitter, item, explosion, etc spamming with your bricks
you could make a house that's like, 10000 bricks and not lag with a decent computer. it's really not that much to worry about.
perfect example: (just an impressive build that doesn't worry about brickcount i found surfing gallery) click
-uses enough bricks to have detail
-not enough bricks to cause lag
-looks impressive and detailed
SWAT One:
Do not be afraid to experiment with and use many kinds of bricks and colors in your buildings. By all means, experiment with anything until you find a look that you like. From your peers, see what they think about your "new and improved" style.
But the first step to becoming a good builder is to have the courage to try something new and ask questions. Good job.
Fauly:
just keep building an you will eventually get better
also build 3D, instead of a flat wall have windows and patterns that extrude outwards, it look much nicer
