Abstract
Stone has been one of the most important materials in the history of architecture. The use and development of this material has paralleled the evolution of the humanity. Unfortunately an appropriate use and language of this material in today's society has not evolved. Propose new uses for stone in today's society that moves beyond previous uses of this material. Use the knowledge accumulated from the above process to accomplish this transgression.
