After some R&D within the company, Polycor went on to release its 1 cm reinforced slabs and Vega returned to his architects in triumph. Only their response was, “That’s great, but we need a way to hang it.”Les mer -
The longevity of stone puts any human concept of old age to shame. Stone creates a sense of permanence and solidity, even when worn and weathered. It’s been used throughout history as the structure and facade of buildings- buildings that have literally stood the test of time. While natural stone has been the material of choice for millennia, glass has dominated commercial construction—especially large scale projects like skyscrapers—in recent years. But architects are increasingly reacting to this glut of glass by returning to stone for their projects. For many developers and architects, glass had become the default, a sterile, too obvious choice which resulted in a flat, texture-less and uninspired design.Les mer -

Stein har blitt brukt gjennom historien på bygninger i mange stiler som kledningsmateriale. Inntil relativt nyere tid ble det brukt til strukturelle applikasjoner i fundamenter og veggkonstruksjon. I moderne konstruksjon brukes stein først og fremst som et kledningsalternativ for å dekke mindre attraktive strukturelle underlag. Stablet stein er ikke et godt strukturelt materiale. Den kan bære mye vekt, men fordi den er vanskelig å forsterke med stål, er den notorisk dårlig til å overleve jordskjelvhendelser, og oppfyller dermed ikke de strenge kravene som arkitekter må oppfylle i moderne byggeforskrifter.Les mer -
