At the same time, it is aimed to ease the process by pointing out the importance of cooperation between the investor (employer), the architect and the stone supplier. This cooperation has a great importance especially in the initial stages of planning.
This book; consists of five main sections covering current design trends and technologies in natural stone facade design, references and basic information from the history of architecture, design methods, a comprehensive and original analysis of built structures and their facades, the adventure of natural stones from block to construction, and main stone types.
Introduction to the Subject and New Trends
In the “Introduction”, Hermann Graser takes the reader on a broad tour of the horizon, from the current advantages of natural stone as a building material to its current applications, from traditional construction techniques to contemporary manufacturing methods. Under this title, the advantages and disadvantages of the main facade construction types are introduced by associating them with the building construction methods, while the use of different construction types together in the same project is explained with examples.
Theory and Fundamentals
Under the title of “Theory and Fundamentals”, Philipp Meuser, by taking the thousands of years of stone as a building material into consideration, he also seeks answer to his question of “Does contemporary architecture need to break its bond with this traditional material?” and draws a conclusion that the bond is should not be broken.
Designs with Natural Stones
Under the title of “Designs with Natural Stones”, Tobias Nöfer; As a continuation of the subject, closely examines the details between the subbasement and the roof eaves, such as molding, lesene and pilaster, column and pillaradornment and surface, corner and joint, both in terms of classical style language and plasticity in shaping.
Constructions and Facades
This section includes projects built in the last 20 years, as well as additional structures, renovations, repairs and reconstructions. The project range, which extends from a two-storey gable roof house to multi-storey residences, includes different typologies such as residences offices, hotels, schools and museums built with a reinforced concrete framed building system. Different facade types such as masonry walls, facade front walls, ventilated stone clad facades or self-supporting solid elements are exemplified in the selected projects. While each project is introduced with its main lines, almost from the urban planning scale to the joint details, with texts, photographs and photograph captions, the relationship between design and material is also examined. In terms of design approaches, the projects are examined by classifying them as projects that have an impressive position in terms of relief effect, emphasis on massiveness, scale and positioning from afar, their original relations with the environment, and the use of light and shadow effect.
Extraction and Processing of Natural Stones and Their Types
In the last part of the book, Graser and Krüger explain the processes of natural stone from quarry to cladding and the main natural stone types with the help of photographs.
The book ends with sample implementation plans. It is written in a language that even non-architect readers can easily understand with the help of texts accompanied by nearly 1,000 photographs and technical detail drawings. Although the book focuses on the use of natural stone on the facade, it also informs the reader in detail about natural stones.

As Stoneline family, we aspired to organize a contest in which students from various disciplines work together to produce in the field of natural stone, an area which we have internationally served more than 20 years. The theme we have designated, was the design of the fair stand on which the Stoneline products would be exhibited. With this contest, we aimed to encourage the students of interior design and industrial product design, to think on natural stone and create innovate ideas.
Our contest which we have designed for architecture, interior design and industrial product design students to create innovative and creative ideas about natural stone and marble, to make them familiar with natural a material which they will use in their desings, to empower succesfull and creative young designers by improving their perspective on the natural stone and to ensure the creation of original and contemporary design with contest spirit, has been completed.
Attention given to the contest is the best evidence to prove that we have reached our goal. 149 students from 43 universities have participated to the contest. As a result of the evaluation conducted by the jury, in addition to the first three prizes, five projects have been awarded with Equivalent Mention Award. We have happily observed that, within the scope of the contest; students of architecture, interior design and industrial product desing have created creative and innovative ideas, have embraced the importance of working with young people from different profiles and relationship between the disciplines. Every type of building material in the world, has a shelf life. Natural stone however, is one of the building materials which have the longest shelf life, with correct application and preservation. We hope that, with this contest, we have been able to help young people to familiarize themselves with the natural stone which is one of the materials they will use in their future designs and to explore the value which this material coming from the nature can add to architecture and the possibilities it can provide. As an establishment, we have always emphasized on enouring the sucessfull and creative young designers.
With this contest, we are proud that we we will able to help create a platform to further create original and contemporary designs. We would like to thank the esteemed lecturers of universities which always provided their help, participant students and Members of the Elective Council for their interest in this contest which we plan to annualize.

With the sponsorship of Stoneline, another legendary concert from Istanbul Music Festival which makes people respect the composer, , towards 2020 Beethoven year!
As Hans von Bülow once said, “The Well-Tempered Clavier is the “Old Testament” and Beethoven’s Sonatas are the “New Testament””. We need to believe in both of them”. In this concert, Piotr Anderszewski, while presenting a program special to himself, requiring a great deal of virtuosity, also brings Bach’s Prelude and Fugues together with not the Sonatas or Beethoven, but his Diabelli Variations. Additionally, he plays Schumann’s piece inspired by Bach’s Preludes.
Piotr Anderszewski’s history with “Diabelli Variations” can be traced back to 1990 Leeds Piano Contest. Teldec company has made a swift album offer to Anderszewski who gathered all the attentions with this piece he played in semi-finals. Young pianist in his early 20’s who refused that offer, when he received the same offer from Virgin Classics many years later, has accepted it, thinking that his knowledge regarding the work of Beethoven is more profound. Whereas Anderszewski’s “Diabelli Variations” awarded with Choc du Monde de la Musique and ECHO Classic, is accepted as the best for a certian period, critics evaluate his concert performance as the best performance they have heard until today. Artist himself however, likenes this magnificent work to a journey and invites all the music enthusiast to this journey at the end of which they will be transformed. He describes Diabelli Variations as “a complete universe consisting of all the memories of the person, though it was a small cell at the beginning.”
