Clay is such a versatile material that there is nothing that dictates an 'appropriate' form for it to take. There is no grain or vein to be respected, like that of stone or wood. It is even arguably more flexible than other homogeneous substances such as concrete and plaster because in its raw state it is not a liquid, but a plastic paste that can be worked by hand.
As such, the criteria for the development of brick modules are not imposed by the material, but are at the discretion of the designer. In my case, I started with the idea of a 'notch'- something that might reduce the amount of material needed for each module, as well as provide a way that they could lock together.
