Building in stone implies carving a mountain, resulting in profound structures with a self-evident materiality. Using stone from Roman quarries, these buildings harmonize with the landscape’s timeless essence. The process demands teamwork, intuition, and perseverance. The first part of this book presents four built projects by Carl Fredrik Svenstedt Architects, showcasing the specificity and craftsmanship of solid stone construction. The second part serves as a sketchbook, compiling ideas for projects that have or may not become buildings.Based in Paris, Carl Fredrik Svenstedt Architects spans scales from public projects to furniture design, focusing on innovative, sustainable construction. Named Firm of the Year for Sustainable Architecture 2019 and winner of the 2021 Archdaily Building of the Year Award, the studio exemplifies excellence in design.
