That's actually pretty cool. I'd like to see them use it to make a building.
This one is not made for buildings. It's superpower is placing the boulders in a smart way, building a wall without using concrete.
No smooth surface, no paint job :)
No, I get it, I just think it would be cool to build a structure that way. You'd have to fill in the gaps, but people made lots of buildings like that once upon a time.
Boulders for that may be more expensive than concrete and armature.
Well...I bet that there's some sort of buildings that use dry stone.
I think that there are old forts in Britain done like that. I was into looking at pictures of fortifications at one point.
