Jonathan's Blog on TERRA COTTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Terra Cotta is one of this century's most magnificent discovery for it's use throughout the architecture in the major cities of the world. It is what creates a new facade to the typical steel and cement buildings. it creates art and a new style in today's cities. Terra cotta can be used to manipulate different styles and designs of the architectural world. Ceramics used on buildings creates such a beauty that plain old cement is becoming a thing of the past. It is through ceramics on buildings that the facade at the opera house in Sydney Australia is created. The tiles are weak in larger sizes but when the tiles are small and close together to create an even more beautiful site the strength of the structure increases. Ceramics has become the architectures eighth wonder of the world.
