Ancient builders had deep knowledge about environmental conditions and the physical needs of humans in their search for shelter. Regardless of technological advances and the evolution of our perception of the world around us, this kind of knowledge and relationship with our surroundings can still be applied today and adapted to our current context. Natural stone, when used in architecture shows just that, as we explore its many different styles and applications.
Human history is deeply connected to the use of stones as tools and raw materials. The same way an ax, made of stone and wood, is considered to be the oldest tool known today, stone is also one of the first and most important elements in the development of construction techniques and architecture.
