Why We Should Build With STONE (Again)

1.3M views · 2 years ago · essay · evergreen

The Aesthetic City makes the case for building with stone again. It is a video essay about stone as a building material and how it shapes the look and lifespan of buildings and cities.

HN people submitted it several times as a pro-stone argument for architecture, and it comes up in threads about materials and infrastructure.

I wonder that in certain parts of the world, the train network could become net positive electrical contributor by mining stones in quarries up the mountain? ▶ this video
