Only their response was, “That’s great, but we need a way to hang it.”Magbasa pa -
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.Magbasa pa -
Kung ang paghila sa iyong driveway ay nagdudulot sa iyo na mapangiwi sa paningin ng isang nakalantad na pundasyon o isang kahabaan ng hubad na bloke ng cinder, bakit hindi ito takpan?

Sa modernong konstruksiyon, ang bato ay pangunahing ginagamit bilang isang opsyon sa cladding upang masakop ang hindi gaanong kaakit-akit na mga substrate sa istruktura. Ang stacked na bato ay hindi isang magandang structural material. Makakasuporta ito ng maraming timbang, ngunit dahil mahirap itong palakasin gamit ang bakal, kilalang-kilala itong masama sa pagligtas sa mga kaganapan sa lindol, at sa gayon ay hindi nakakatugon sa mga mahigpit na kinakailangan na dapat matugunan ng mga arkitekto sa mga modernong code ng gusali.Magbasa pa -
