Default OT - concrete effect

What's this effect called?


Rustication. Vermiculated (worm like) in this case.

A Rennaisance revival of a Roman style for the treatment of
the lower stories of buildings. Much copied subsequently.

I think London would look better if concrete structures such as the
Hammersmith flyover used this effect, but I don't know how expensive it
would be.
