New Stone Architecture

In the light of recent developments in contemporary design, it is surprising to note that Pevsner's and Benevolo's histories of modern architecture contain almost no examples of buildings in stone: the use of this natural material somehow contradicted the popular image of early modernism. But in a remarkable watershed of modernist tenets, the contemporary architect has become obsessed with a variety of new materials, and above all stone. Distributed by Syndetic Solutions, Inc.
