Obviously walls are usually 2 bricks deep meaning the water could be channelled through the wall rather than down unsightly piping work from gutters. Like others - I was wondering what would stop the channels getting clogged with leaves and dirt. If that happens the walls would fill with water anc cause some pretty nasty rising damp. There is also the problem with the cement - as the bricks are stuck together the channel would need to be brushed to allow the water to flow. My favourite thought about this is it effectively creates thousands of mice & insect homes all over the house. - slightly terrifying to some i would imagine :) Looking at the design it could be used with the spacing as the channel on one brick could be lined up with the channel of the next meaning that the water wouldn't go back and forth as in the picture but diagonally downwards.

OR cover the walls in a sponge which will absorb the water and gravity would filter it down. why not grow plants which absorb water along the walls.
