Natural Stone

Studio Marmo

Overview

A photographic directory and reference, covering over 350 types of stone used in architecture and interior design.

A unique resource for architects, interior designers, builders, and their clients, this guide explains the terminology, classification, and characteristics of the "dimension stone" used in interior and exterior architecture, including granite, marble, quartzite, and other stones. It provides high-quality photographs of over 350 representative samples grouped by color and type, together with a summary of the aesthetic qualities, technical properties, availability, and application of each group. A gallery of sixty additional photographs shows examples of actual projects built with natural stone.

A CD-ROM packaged with the book contains screen-resolution TIFF images of all the samples for both the Mac and Windows platform.

Studio Marmo has offices in New York City and Florence, Italy.
