      It won’t, these things look funky as all hell while under construction, but are a steel frame with the concrete walls just being the wall material. Usually they’re covered later with any other whatever. Plaster, cement, decorative brick. The inside is either wall panels, plaster, dry wall or just polished concrete. The brick walls are internally tied down and clasped to the steel frame with steel wire and steel clamps. I’ve lived around buildings like these all my life, no they don’t crumble easily. It’s just that cement and steel are cheaper than wood around these parts. If anything, the worse part of the picture is the shoddy mason work, specially on the corners of the upper floor.
