Marble and granite manufactured

A complete work on the range of "manufactured stones" available on the market. Over 350 pages incorporating technical information sheets, colour illustrations, technical details and formats of industrially manufactured granite, marble, stone and travertine. The book is written in Italian.
Architects now enjoy a vast choice of building technologies and materials, and the alternative to natural stones is a brand new concept in materials: "manufactured stone", the product of the research and technology of the past that now permits us to overcome the economic and environmental drawbacks associated with use of stone in contemporary society".
"Manufactured stone" allows us to use lightweight materials offering excellent technical performance which are every bit as attractive as natural stone, suitable for all types of finishes and surfaces and all kinds of buildings, with the capacity to create forms of architecture which offer a wealth of sensory expression and yet are perfectly suited to the times and demands of the third millennium.
