Ah, the old "form versus function" dilemma. If you follow proper engineering techniques you can have both. Concrete is 2,000 year old material and is well understood. The problem lies in asking an insubstantial material to preform in a substantial way. Use the lava or cinder mixes as veneers and you can have both form and function.
That 64 quake was amazing. Best not to forget nature's messages. I remind my clients that ultimately there is nothing made by man that cannot be defeated by nature..... but that doesn't mean we should be stupid.

Assume the best and ask questions.
