The Biblical Stone, A textbook Case in Adaptive Reuse - Part 2

‘The Geography of Nowhere’ a book by James Kunstler presents a very readable argument for preventing the “placelessness” of a new construction that is detached from its surroundings as the author puts it.

According to Kunstler, The average human, who went to school in a building modeled on a textile factory, who works in a suburban office building, which lives in a raised box, who vacations once a year to a tourist trap would not recognize a soulful building full of subtle nuances “even if a tornado dropped it in his front yard”.

Professor Kunstler continues: “The modern classical European architects, interior and landscaping architect are sometimes at a disadvantage to architects of past centuries who had a more direct connection with the ‘terroir’ and had a greater ability to discern the authentic from the contrived”.

Adaptive reuse as followed by ‘Monolithic Stone’ focuses on the human being first, on sacred geometry and the classical proportions of stone elements. This is what sets us apart; this is why we are in a class of our own.

If what you have read and seen here resonates, then our elements are right for you and for the space you chose to surround yourself with.
