Why We Should Build with Stone (Again)

For thousands of years, we used natural stone to create the most incredible and long lasting architecture. But then, suddenly, we stopped using stone. Why? In this video, The Aesthetic City does a deep dive in this beautiful, wonderful material. They interview the commercial director at Carrières du Hainaut, John Vis, and Pierre Bidaud from the Stonemasonry Company in London. The biggest question is: can we still build with stone today? Is it feasible, and what are the benefits of using stone? Are there any drawbacks? And most of all: is it too expensive, or can it be affordable?
