8. PHILOSOPHY IN STONE
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.

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. 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.

15. 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.

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

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

18. 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, F
ORM, WEIGHT, MASS, YOU ASK FOR IT
STONE HAS IT. FROM GRAINS OF
SAND TO MOUNTAINS ALL WITHIN
THE PALM OF MAN.

19. 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.

• The site is respected and materials
are talked to, then pave way for
yet another piece of music in stone

25. Construction process of a residence for a

26. A little less than 4’, gradually sloping
from one end to another- site

27. 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

28. Climatic • At the very centre of the home is a
design 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.

29. Climatic • varying ceiling heights,
design
• 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.

30. Techniques
