Brick from a Stone
An installation made
from stone bricks that repurposes waste stone to showcase a low carbon
alternative to clay fired brickwork.
Installed between two iconic red London telephone boxes in Clerkenwell Green, Brick from a Stone celebrates the variety of natural stone that lies in abundance beneath our feet. Six stone brick columns in Portland limestone and Darney sandstone support a roof for shelter, constructed from timber and translucent stone templating sheet. While the front columns are smooth and finished, the rear columns emerge from a rough-edged boulder, celebrating the production process.
‘An installation... (that) could shake the foundations of the building industry.’
