Living With Stone

Author(s): EDITORS

Architecture

Its presence in architectural history proves that few materials provide as much security and warmth as stone. This book contains a selection of stone built houses, an optimal choice for those looking to retreat from the noise, pollution and stress of big city living and who long to live in a more natural environment. In addition to being a source of inspiration, this volume serves as a visual guide to the different types of stone and their applications in structures, finishes and decoration. Because durability and strength are among the basic properties of this precious material, the many examples of public buildings that have withstood the test of time and help create sustainable societies are impossible to ignore.
