As long as they used tile adhesive.

Bricks get used for patios, so the slabs are getting their own back.

I'm trying to work out if the unevenness in the slabs is to guide the water down the wall.

Who would stand back and think "job well done" there, not many!.

Good grief..

I think the more pertinent question is "should paving slabs be used", as it appears they can!

Was it a Eastern European job ? or stevie wonder ?

I like the look of it. Ok you wouldn't want it on your house, but ideal for a disney style folly in the garden.
Looks a bit like an igloo!

It's not that different from Ashlar facing stone, which was quite thin because of it's cost. Often stuck on a brick backing wall with tie irons to hold it in place. As these have rusted over the years some of the stone work is starting to bulge out.
