Stone is a fascinating, fresh and insightful global tour of the world's oldest and most beautiful building material – now available in a handy mini format

A fresh look at the beauty, diversity, and versatility of the world’s most extraordinary stone architecture throughout time.

Featuring more than 170 structures, from prehistory through to today, Stone – now available in a highly portable mini format – includes an incredible range of buildings: awe-inspiring Neolithic monuments and the epic Pyramids of Giza feature alongside the work of twentieth-century icons, from Mies van der Rohe's seminal Barcelona Pavilion to Marcel Breuer's daring Met building in New York.

There are also projects by the world's best contemporary architects, from Snøhetta's angular Norwegian National Opera and Ballet in Oslo to Kengo Kuma's sculptural Chokkura Plaza in Japan and David Chipperfield's geometric Museo Jumex in Mexico City.

Arranged to promote comparison and discussion, each project includes an extended caption providing a perceptive commentary on the building.

An elegant and informative visual exploration, Stone demonstrates the remarkable variety of creative and innovative structures the material has inspired around the world.
