Many of the world's greatest historical structures and buildings have been constructed with stone, but the material is largely no longer used in construction because of its cost. A New York startup is trying to change that.

Go to any downtown and you'll see just how beautiful normal everyday shops and other structures used to be built. It's not just stone that needs to make a comeback, but also brick. Stone materials can last centuries, as the video showed, and it's a plentiful and eco-friendly resource. Many of our buildings today will not be able to be passed down to future generations; a privilege we take for granted with our current historic structures.

@rosescott9299 2 месяца назад

This is absolutely fantastic! The applications in restoring historical buildings and in modern building will be amazing. I truly hope that one day modern architecture brings back the beauty, craftsmanship and a bit of the gingerbread of old. And I can only imagine what a machine like this could’ve done in the hands of a brilliant artist like Michelangelo. Amazing!

It's funny seeing skyscrapers being made from wood and now stonework making a comeback.

@kenkarsonn 2 месяца назад

While the guy with the opposing view isn't wrong about sourcing being a hurdle for architectural masonry, the fact that there are stone structures still standing today built thousands of years ago is a testament to stone's long-term durability (under the right conditions). Obviously not every single building or structure should (or can) be made from stone. But certain buildings that serve key functions would benefit from being constructed with longevity in mind; and in exchange for higher upfront cost you'd likely save money over the long term, provided maintenance isn't super expensive. Again, building with stone doesn't work everywhere, but in places where it would work, it'd be great to see more of it.

A "5th of the cost of traditional methods" means we eliminate the cost of skilled stone carvers and stone masons.

@@user-ny5yo2mc3x There are many fewer stone carvers and stone masons nowadays, but the profession has not disappeared completely. The French found artisans to work on Notre Dame Cathdral.

@Blackgriffonphoenixg 2 месяца назад

Yes, but those skilled carvers and masons haven't been in demand for over half a century; We already completely relegated construction work to whichever large masses of workers can just cast thick concrete slabs and assemble them together. This isn't exactly the same thing as the whole "robots taking our jobs" event happening with automation.

@jonathanstensberg 2 месяца назад

What carvers and masons? They’ve already been put out of work by concrete, steel, glass, and plastics. If anything, this is increasing the opportunities for these jobs.

The round embellishment they showed looked very similar to what I've seen for polished quartz aggregate precast. For cnc milling of stone to really shine they will need to demonstrate Bas Relief and I'd be excited to see it.

@rawbacon Месяц назад

If you're the one sitting in an office all day you'd appreciate all that glass. Tall buildings can still have ground floor/s beauty, sidewalk/roadside appeal. Attractive sidewalk material, street lights, plantings and such are much more important to the feel of a city than things going on over the 3rd floor of a building.

@hummersd 2 месяца назад

I am curious why the final details would still be done by an artist; is the machine not capable of that detailed work despite it switching tools on its own and the designer able to put that information into the program? Nothing against the artist, but if one of the goals was to reduce costs, that would (or should) be a big one.

@bubblez_x_beast8721 2 месяца назад

I think the professor has the right take on it. Will be used primarily for historic preservation but stone itself as a material is still very expensive. Good architecture isn't just about the materials itself, because while they are very important, a great architect can make near any construction material work for the form you want it to be and have it be cost effective. Having it be stone does not help in that last bit. Additionally, ornate designs just aren't in style anymore. There are numerous factors for that, but it's just the truth that the people crying out that today's architecture is "soul-less" is just people reminiscing about the past. Funnily enough, back when Beaux-Arts was in style some people were actually wanting a lot more simplicity in designs, which brought on the modernist movement. So, before you type another comment saying how you "wish we had beautiful buildings again!" try and do some history

@marcuswardle3180 2 месяца назад

For ordinary buildings or modern ones this would be suitable but for restoration of old buildings especially the ones we have here in Europe maybe not. Part of the the beauty of the decoration of some the old buildings is the input put into it by the stonemasons. Many of the gargoyles on cathedrals, which hide roof pipe drains or just decoration, were created by the stonemason from their own thought. Their was no set plan for them. That is why the structure of the cathedral is so unique. When they are being replaced today the tradition of the stonemason creating his own style gargoyle. Many of the modern ones have influences from films of today. Darth Vader has appeared a couple of times! This new technique though helpful may be making the craft sterile?

@yland6003 2 месяца назад

Why does it beed to be real stone? Once you excavate that rock, it could take up to 500 million years to recycle back into a rock. 🏝️🌋🪨 A buildings facade could be made of painted aluminum or plastic and you wouldn’t notice from far away. It takes significantly less time to recycle plastic and aluminum than rock. Buildings have a life span shorter than stone.

@lortio88 Месяц назад

It's sad to see one of the greatest joys in life be replaced with robots: the connection between the artist and the material. This technology is hungry, voracious, and it's disguising how expensive it is with the idea that it's "cheaper" to manufacture. Those machines costing $300-400 thousand... and the environmental impact? See through the BS. This has the potential to be art, if it focuses on new design not replacing the oldies. But be honest... this is not cheaper than the traditional methods and certainly it removes the joy from the work of carving in stone that we as a species have enjoyed for centuries.
