What do the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Norwegian National Opera and Ballet and a Celine<\/a> store have in common? Probably only one thing: stone. This surprising versatility and ubiquity led William Hall to devote an entire tome to the material \u2014 his just released, and aptly named, Stone<\/a><\/em> (published by Phaidon)<\/a>. \u201cThroughout history, stone has been used in a staggering array of brilliant buildings, often quite unexpectedly,\u201d Hall tells The Study.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the book,<\/em> Hall explains the material’s appeal through time and across borders. While it has long symbolized power, he writes, \u201carchitects working in the twenty-first century are finding that stone represents opportunity and potential. . . . [I]t is the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hall also points out that today’s climate change crisis strengthens the case for the material, noting that structures made of stone have drastically smaller carbon footprints than those built of steel or concrete. Below are eight examples from the book that demonstrate the positive environmental and aesthetic impact that using stone can have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Casa do Penedo, or House of Rock, sits in the rural town of Fafe in northwest Portugal. Constructed by an engineer, the simple shelter is composed of glacial boulders united with rough concrete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt has an extraordinary form,\u201d Hall says. \u201cI like it because it is significant in scale.\u201d He also notes the irony of its location: Although situated in the middle of a wind farm, the house remains delightfully off the grid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An exotic pale blue Pinta Verde marble from Brazil is used throughout the store. Hall compares the design to a fashion statement: \u201cA white suite denotes of its wearer that they are someone with the resources to wear such an impractical garment. The architect, Valerio Olgiati, handles it deftly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pyramidal ceiling niches, complemented by sculptural columns that taper to a point, add depth and light to the ground floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lanyang Museum, devoted to the culture and ecology of Yilan, was designed to mirror the geometric shape of the cuestas, hills that slope gently on one side and steeply on the other, which are a feature of the region. The construction uses granite and cast-aluminum panels that create a modernist dialogue with the local rock that sheathes much of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cChoosing locally sourced, natural materials immediately situates a building,\u201d says Hall, adding that the rocks \u201cecho the surrounding countryside and have an authenticity that man-made materials can\u2019t match.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a radio station in a remote region of northwest Nepal, the use of metamorphic gneiss reflects the multiple requirements imposed by the building’s location and function. \u201cThis is a building constructed by expediency: It\u2019s high in the Nepalaese mountains, so it is difficult to deliver materials,\u201d Hall notes, adding that it \u201cneeded a certain number of well-insulated rooms and shade from the unforgiving sun.\u201d The resulting complex of studios and meeting rooms surrounds a central courtyard, allowing it to \u201csit quietly in the landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How a building will appear from above is seldom a major consideration in its construction. \u201cTypically, roofs have only one purpose \u2014 to provide shelter,\u201d says Hall. \u201cThey are rarely as complicated as walls, which have to be structural and contain windows and architectural detailing.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The King Abdullah Grand Mosque, in central Riyadh, is a beautiful exception. Its rounded three-dimensional form was inspired by desert roses, crystal clusters<\/a> formed under desert conditions. \u201cIt makes for a beautiful, memorable and striking work,” Hall notes. “It inspires wonder, as religious buildings should.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marble and stone form a powerful, animated pattern in the lobby of the South Korean O\u2019biz Tower office building. \u201cIt could easily become frivolous, but there is a formalism and a restraint here that prevents that,\u201d says Hall, citing the limited palette as well as the use of \u201csquare blocks, which makes for a satisfying space.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Built to commemorate Uchimura Kanzo, founder of the the Japanese Nonchurch Christian movement, the church bearing his name embodies his philosophy. \u201cThe movement believes that where you pray is the church,” says Hall. “Here, that is translated into allowing nature to permeate the space.\u201d By integrating foliage, rocks, a water channel and ribbed skylights, the architecture evokes a feeling of being outside as well as in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Norwegian National Opera and Ballet, located on a waterfront brownfield site, was designed to reflect its surroundings. The architects even paved the plaza on which it sits with bush-hammered white Carrara marble to create a textured, grippy surface that complements the lapping waves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a topographical ambition to this project, by which I mean it\u2019s rare to see a rolling landscape portrayed in architecture on this scale,\u201d Hall says. \u201cIt feels like a wild place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
