INTRODUCTION TO NATURAL STONE. GUIDE TO THE RULES, CHARACTERISTICS AND USES by Piero Primavori published by Giorgio Zusi Editore – the first volume of a series entitled KNOWING THE STONE.
In our country, thanks to a combination of history, art, know-how and tradition that is difficult to repeat, we appreciate and use in architecture and building construction all the product categories that can be counted on: marble, granite, travertine, slate, porphyry, onyx, quartzite, breccias, etc. Whether domestically produced or of foreign origin. The author, Dr Piero Primavori, an internationally renowned consultant and lecturer at the Master’s Degree Course “Architecture and Construction: Contemporary Design with Stone” (DAStU, Milan Polytechnic) introduces us to natural materials: what are natural stones, their characteristics, choice and installation are some of the points covered in this interesting book for “insiders” and others.
By the same author, we would like to point out “THE LAPID STONE – LESSICO DEL LAPIDEO” with approximately 2,500 specialist terms.
