Ceramic House, Colombia

  Ceramic House, Colombia This is a Ceramic house designed and built by Octavio Mendoza in Colombia. The house looks comical in shape and is very strong. It is built in the same way as a brick or mud utensils are made, by first moulding a desired shape out of mud, allowing it to drain in sunlight for proper time and finally backing it in intense heat. The houses built in this style has a very special feature that it has pores inside its walls which occur when water is evaporated on heating and space is left voided in the forms of pores that acts as thin capillaries.
