Director’s Statement
Stone has stood at the heart of architecture since the dawn of civilisation. Over the past year, I have been collaborating with Rosal Stones, a stone extraction and fabrication company based in Caravaca, Spain. As part of a three-person team, we travelled across the rocky, sedimentary landscapes of Murcia, a region shaped largely by sandstone. The city’s natural beauty was striking. In observing its architecture, we noticed how vibrant hues such as sky blue and tangerine orange were applied to façades, infusing the built environment with warmth and a sense of well-being.
