New Age of Stone | LMNL office [for architecture and landscape] & Anna Zań

Natural stone is a versatile, strong and reusable material with a long lifespan. Unlike brick, concrete and metal, stone basically has no carbon footprint. New Age of Stone investigates whether stone can be scaled up as a sustainable alternative to concrete and brick in the Netherlands. For 11 months, Anna Zań and LMNL are gathering knowledge in the Netherlands, Belgium, the UK and France. Through desk research, expert interviews, technical research and mock-ups, the possibilities of utilising stone in architecture are explored. The insights will be summarised for architects and builders.
