Set in Stone
stone
marble
Architecture built IN stone, not finished with it. Limestone bluffs, granite chapels, sandstone terraces, schist walls, ruined castles reinhabited, museum extensions cut into cliff faces. Buildings that accept the weight and the time the material brings — thicker walls, slower thermal mass, surfaces that age through weather rather than renovation. Stone as the first decision, not the last detail.
