Is Structural Stone the Key to Decarbonizing the Built Environment?


Featured Designers:

Metropolis explores the potential of structural stone as a lower carbon alternative to conventional building materials, examining how advances in quarrying, engineering, and construction are enabling stone to be used as a load bearing system rather than simply a finish. The article highlights projects and industry efforts that demonstrate how structural stone can reduce embodied carbon while drawing on a material with a long architectural history, positioning it as a possible contributor to more sustainable building practices.
