Stoneline
Stoneline hosted Medipol University Department of Urban Design and Landscape Architecture students in its showroom to explore the role of natural stone in architecture and landscape design. The visit offered young designer candidates a rich insight into the aesthetic, structural and environmental effects of natural stone.
Design with Natural Stone: Harmony of Function and Aesthetics
Within the scope of the event, Kadir Akyıldırım, Stoneline’s experienced Geological Engineer, gave a detailed presentation on all stages starting from the formation process of natural stone to its extraction, processing and integration into projects.
Students gained comprehensive information about the types of stone used in landscape projects, outdoor durability, ecological compatibility and the criteria to be considered in material selection. This information forms the cornerstones of creating both functional and visually sustainable designs.
Showroom Tour: Face to Face with the Aesthetics of Nature
Following the presentation, the students had a comprehensive tour of the showroom, which contains Stoneline’s rich collection. Turkey’s natural stone richness inspired the students both culturally and aesthetically.
The variety of different surface textures, colour palettes and textures allowed the students to explore the creative possibilities offered by natural stone in landscape architecture.
An Inspiring Experience for Young Designers
While raising awareness about the use of natural materials, this visit also provided students with in-depth information about the material details they may encounter in real projects. As Stoneline, we find these ties with design-oriented departments very valuable; we are happy to introduce young architects and designers to the timeless power of natural stone.
