Among the 23 projects selected from 15 different world cities, including Istanbul, Izmir, and Muğla, are projects from five Turkish architectural offices (EAA-Emre Arolat Architecture, Atelier Han Tümertekin, Erginoğlu\u0026amp;Çalışlar, Teğet Mimarlık, DDA-Dilekci Mimarlık).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNatural Stone Facades\u003c\/em\u003e aims to both demonstrate the diversity of natural stone application as a material and to create a discussion platform to guide its correct and appropriate use.

Under this heading, the advantages and disadvantages of the main facade construction types are introduced in relation to building construction methods, and the combined use of different construction types in the same project is explained with examples to adhere to the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTheory and Fundamental Knowledge: \u003c\/strong\u003eConsidering the thousands of years of history of stone as a building material, Philipp Meuser seeks an answer to the question \"Does contemporary architecture need to break its connection with this traditional material?\" and concludes that it does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDesign with Natural Stone: \u003c\/strong\u003eTobias Nöfer, as a continuation of the subject, closely examines details such as cornices, pilasters, columns, decoration and surface, corners and joints, located between the plinth and the roof eave, both in terms of classical form language and plasticity in shaping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStructures and Facades: \u003c\/strong\u003eThis chapter includes projects built in the last 20 years, as well as extensions, renovations, repairs, and reconstructions. The wide range of projects, from two-story gable-roofed houses to multi-story residences, includes different typologies such as residential, office, hotel, school, and museum built with reinforced concrete frame systems. The selected projects exemplify different facade types such as front walls, ventilated stone-clad facades, or self-supporting massive elements. With texts, photographs, and captions, each project is outlined almost from a city planning scale to joint details, and the relationship between design and material is examined. The projects are classified and examined based on their design approaches as those with relief effects, emphasis on massiveness, impressive location in terms of scale and positioning from a distance, unique relationships with their environment, and use of light and shadow effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eExtraction, Processing, and Types of Natural Stone: \u003c\/strong\u003eIn the final chapter, Graser and Krüger explain the processes natural stone undergoes from quarry to cladding and its main types with examples.
