Stucco is a specialized form of plaster used for covering the façades of buildings. It is a durable and ornate yet inexpensive construction material, but more importantly it is extremely versatile and used in both rural and urban environments. Its usefulness comes from its uniform finish, its ability to be molded into various shapes and forms through manipulating the materials, or to create bas reliefs due to the varying thicknesses of the plaster. And it's simplicity makes this wall design very popular in construction.
