Imagination to innovation

STONES SING IS ALL ABOUT LIFE AND MUSIC. AS FAR AS THE MIND IS CONCERNED BOTH HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THERE. EONS HAVE COME AND GONE, MANY MORE WILL COME, YET EACH STONE IS AN INDIVIDUAL. NOT ONE BEFORE OR AFTER SHALL BE THE SAME. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN AND NEVER SHALL BE TWO STONES THAT ARE THE SAME.

PHILOSOPHY IN STONE

In the romance with stone, ever since its cognition by the Human spirit as a partner for his greater life, stone has shown Myriad faces. The properties of Stone and it's Qualities have fired a riot in the Minds of many a creator.

The More one discovers, the less one comprehends, and the depth and potential of this material is limited only by imagination. Matter has to exist for it to be exploited by the Mind. The Matter in stone is immense.

The Romance with stone starts from the first glimpse of its existence as a life form. Indian Mythology revels in Narasimha striding out in rage as a metamorphous change from a stone pillar.

IT IS ALWAYS AROUND US IN ONE FORM OR ANOTHER. IN THE FORM OF A MOUNTAIN OR A RANGE OF MOUNTAINS IT FIRES THE HUMAN IMAGINATION. , STONE’S FIRST IMMENSE IMPRESSION IS IN THE MANNER OF A CLIFF.

The sheer drop thrills. You step back in awe and fear, respect follows. You hear a rumbling and there is a landslide, the rocks roll down crashing like thunder, if you can, you step back open mouthed at this power. You then come to the mountain springs, rivulets, streams and the water fall. It may be the sound of water that fascinates at first, but that sound is the result of the romance of stone with water. It is Stone that gives meaning to the flow of water from the soft pebble created rustles to the crashing of symbols at the falls.

A monolith standing in the midst of nothingness evokes the mystic in a child to the aged. The Stone Henge is and will always be a standing example of such an experience. It is these experiences and more that have made architects from time immemorial to use stone as a living part of built environment.

Just walk up to any stone pillar and knock on it and it will tell many a story in ringing tones.

STONE AS AN AGGREGATE IN CONCRETE IS LIKE RICE IN A VEGETARIAN DIET. POLISHED OR FLAMED, CUT OR HEWED STONE AS FACING AND DECOR, IS LIKE GOLD AND DIAMONDS ON A LIVING SPIRIT. STONE IS A GARMENT AS ALSO THE BODY IT IS WITHIN AND WITHOUT.

The philosopher’s stone is not just a story. Poetry is what makes Architecture sensuous. Stone makes this possible by its presence in its various manifestations in the building spaces.

It has today caught the imagination of the landscape architect in its many manifestations, such that it can create spaces in the most micro or macro of spaces with limitless approaches. An Obelisk standing in the middle a square is a beauty to behold. No sculptor can add to it. The only enhancement that is possible is by the meticulous positioning of its presence.

TODAY TECHNOLOGY HAS TAKEN STONE TO ANOTHER WORLD. IT HAS CROSSED BOUNDARIES. THERE ARE NO PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS IN ALL ITS CHARACTERISTICS.`

EVERY YEAR A WHOLE NEW RESERVOIR OF STONE IN VARIOUS COLORS AND FORMS ARE UNLEASHED ON THE PROFESSIONAL FIELD. LITERALLY IT IS A FLOOD.

THIS NOBLE MATERIAL HAS FINALLY ARRIVED.

Color, texture, size form, you imagine it and it is possible. STONEMART is a living example of this.

THE ATTEMPT OF THE WRITER IS TO MAKE THE READER LOOK INTO DIRECTIONS THAT ARE NOT EASILY PERCEIVED. STONE TO BE MASTERED MUST BE UNDERSTOOD. IT MUST BE COMPREHENDED IN ALL ITS MANIFESTATIONS.

COLOR, TEXTURE, STRENGTH, SIZE, FORM, WEIGHT, MASS, YOU ASK FOR IT STONE HAS IT. FROM GRAINS OF SAND TO MOUNTAINS ALL WITHIN THE PALM OF MAN.

HUMAN IMAGINATION HAS THE POTENTIAL TO MAKE STONE NOT JUST SING BUT START TELLING STORIES. AND THESE STORIES HAVE A DEEPER THE PHILOSOPHY. THERE IS A MIND WITHIN EVERY STONE.

Honesty to material…

• The house shows a strict geometric view from outside.

• As one moves inward the structure becomes fluid.

• The spaces dances with freedom

• At the very centre of the home is a confluence of the panchabhutas:

• a court the water body encircling

• the earth below ground level, from which rises the temple tree spreading upward and outward,

• basking in the sunshine (fire) from the void above,

• open to the skies (air) and beyond.

Climatic

design

• varying ceiling heights,

• insulated roofs,

• orientation of openings are some of the techniques employed along with a combination of interior and exterior water bodies in cyclic harmony ensuring passive cooling.
