Natural Stone Experience in Architectural Education: Balıkesir University Students at Stoneline

Students from the Faculty of Architecture at Balıkesir University recently visited our Stoneline Ayazağa Showroom, where they had the opportunity to explore the use of natural stone in architectural projects firsthand.

Welcomed by our expert team, the students received comprehensive insights into how natural stone can be evaluated accurately and consciously within architectural design processes.


An Academic Perspective on the Architectural Use of Natural Stone

During the visit, students attended a detailed presentation covering the geological formation of natural stone, extraction processes, surface finishing techniques, and its applications in contemporary architecture. Key criteria such as durability, sustainability, ease of maintenance, and environmental compatibility were discussed through examples from real-world projects.


Showroom Experience: A Close Look at a Wide Natural Stone Collection

Following the presentation, students participated in a showroom tour where they examined Stoneline’s extensive natural stone collection. Through observations of color variations, veining patterns, texture differences, and surface options, they gained valuable insights into selecting the right stone according to project requirements.


Stoneline’s Commitment to Educational Collaboration

At Stoneline, we consider engaging with architecture students an important investment in the future of the industry. These technical visits, conducted in collaboration with educational institutions, help students gain a professional understanding of natural stone—one of the fundamental materials in architecture. Furthermore, such interactions pave the way for future partnerships and project-based collaborations with the architects of tomorrow.
