Nevsehir Bus Terminal

"The natural stone texture, indentation, natural fillings and gaps, amorphous and asylum, and sheltering urge compose the originating point of the structure in the mysterious topography of Cappadoccia."

St George's Church

"This town contains a remarkable collection of monolithic, rock-cut churches. These buildings testament to the skills of Ethiopia’s medieval stone masons."

Swoon

"The structure was built using 200 tons of rammed Earth, a composite of regional dirt and pigments, compressed into 30” thick walls"

Casa Do Penedo

"Meaning Stone House, this house acquired its name due to the fact that it was built between four gigantic boulders."
