Three-dimensional claddings (118)
Unlike stone, pressed ceramic tiles or any kind of artificial panels of board type, extruded terracotta elements can easily be three-dimensional, due to the manufacturing process. Unfortunately architects do not always take advantage of this possibility, even though terracotta is a common material in façade claddings. Here is a good example of its 3D possibilities!
And observe these difficult corners where three-dimensional elements can show their hollowness! A good challenge!
