Description

The New Stone Age is an interactive seminar to discuss contemporary developments in the use of structural stone in the UK and Europe. International leaders in engineering, stone fabrication, architecture and academia will present on ”The New Stone Age”, a movement to employ a novel use of natural stone as a low-carbon alternative to concrete.

The seminar is co-organized by the Ecologies of Stone research group at the Aarhus School of Architecture and the Værksted for Arkitektur. It complements the exhibition ‘Stepping Stones’ which utilizes low-processed, waste blocks of stone from Larvik, Norway – known as larvikite – to construct an experimental, full-scale structural floor.
