Stone cladding serves both protective and aesthetic functions in architecture, offering durability, thermal mass, and visual character to building envelopes. The material choice and installation method significantly influence a project's relationship to its environment and structural performance.The community explores stone cladding through material sourcing and reuse, the interplay between stone and complementary materials like wood and brick, and how cladding systems respond to landscape conditions and local geology. Projects range from salvaged stone applications to contemporary approaches that treat cladding as a primary design language.
