Also brick is just a horrible material for warmer climate; I looked this up when I realized brick houses are so rare here (I’m in SoCal).
isnt brick an excellent insulator?
It heats up but then the heat doesn’t really ever escape.
Pretty neat, I've never seen masonry like this before.
I'll point out that the webbing is likely strong, but considering the lack of ductility, this seems likely to fail during an earthquake. What're these called, I'd like to look into them more.
i was so sure it was, i looked it up after seeing your comment and... you are right. even double brick which ive always been told was great, apparently isnt all that good. TIL
