Description

With the aid of photographs, plans and texts, this volume presents64 unique contemporary buildings and interiors that use stone. They demonstate that the different textures can inspire the most varied results. Architects such as Rafael Moneo, O.M. Ungers and Kengo Kuma place stone upon stone, as people have done for centuries, though seldom has the effect been as sleekly elegant as now in the 21st century.

Stone is creating new milestones in international architecture. It is a strong, fascinating and multifaceted material; and it continues to inspire established and upcoming architects. Set in Stone impressively demonstrates the lightness and modernity of natural stone, brick and ceramic.
