En China, una “casas clavo o casas uña” es un hogar donde un residente se ha negado a salir para dar paso a nuevas construcciones. Los constructores tienen que construir minuciosamente a su alrededor, a menudo dejando atrás una monstruosidad tan impresionante que es casi una escultura. Éstos son algunos de los ejemplos más famosos de las casas clavos.
