British stone suppliers Albion Stone and Hutton Stone have commissioned architecture practice Hawkins\Brown and engineering consultancy Webb Yates to design an ambitious pavilion Brick from a Stone: Arch Revival for this year’s Clerkenwell Design Week. The pavilion will consist of a striking pair of freestanding, vaulted hyperbolic arches almost 4 metres tall. Each arch will be elegantly crafted from a single layer of stone bricks, measuring only 102mm thick, demonstrating the material’s strength and versatility as a load-bearing architectural product. The arches will also showcase the variety of sizes and shapes of stone bricks that both companies can produce thanks to their investment in state-of-the-art machinery.
