In the October issue of STEIN, we take a sneak peek at Marmomac in Verona and show what visitors can expect there. We also introduce the new Vienna Museum and take a trip to Berlin, where Chipperfield Architects have created a new urban space between the Spree River and the New Synagogue.
Marmomac is just around the corner. From September 26 to 29, 2023, the international natural stone trade show will open its doors in Verona. Spanning approximately 80,000 square meters, this year’s event will once again offer an overview of the entire spectrum of STEIN—from quarrying and processing to design. The latter is gaining increasing importance year after year, as modern machinery now makes even the most sophisticated forms of stoneworking possible. Proof of this growing design awareness: Elle Decor, an interior design magazine, is on board as a trade show partner and will focus specifically on the importance of natural stone for new interior design and living trends. Find out why a visit to the trade show is definitely worth it again this year in our Marmomac preview.
Marmomac Natural Stone Fair
Our author Alexandra Nyseth presents a successful project using natural stone. As part of an expansion, renovation, and comprehensive restoration, the Wien Museum on Karlsplatz has been given a new façade made of Dorit. We believe this is compelling proof that old and new can harmonize very well.
Harmony Between Old and New
The integration of the existing structure and the addition is also very harmonious in the case of a historic townhouse in London. A key factor in this was an addition modeled after 18th-century garden houses.
Integration of the Existing Structure and the Addition
A special architectural highlight in Berlin is the new Forum on Museum Island. After a 20-year planning and construction phase, it was recently inaugurated with a grand celebration. Right in the heart of Berlin, you’ll find buildings spanning four centuries. With a keen sense of the existing structures and their history, the teams at Chipperfield Architects and Patschke & Partner have restored and expanded the buildings. In the new issue, you’ll discover just how diverse and interesting Berlin’s new city center has become.
Buildings from Four Centuries
In addition, our author Bärbel Daiber introduces you to a whole range of funding programs for the skilled trades and attempts to provide an overview of the support programs available.
