There are Courtyard Villas in The Villages with poured concrete walls using removable forms. I do not recall that a very large percentage of the Courtyard Villas were built that way. I believe they have stopped constructing them that way, however. Most have been concrete block or framed. There are many ICF (Insulated Concrete Forms) homes with poured concrete walls and permanent forms in the US. Whether something is "practical" depends on what you are trying to do. For example, if you are building a high end, custom home with superior energy efficiency and strength then ICF is a good way to go.
