In the October issue of STEIN, we take an advance look at the Marmomac in Verona and show what visitors can expect in Verona. We also present the new Vienna Museum and take a trip to Berlin. There, Chipperfield Architects have shaped a new urban space between the Spree and the New Synagogue.

Marmomac Natural Stone Fair
Marmomac is just around the corner. The international natural stone show will open its doors in Verona from September 26 to 29, 2023. This year, there will once again be an overview of the entire spectrum of stone, its quarrying, processing and design on around 80,000 square meters. The latter is becoming more and more important every year. After all, modern machines now make the most sophisticated forms of processing possible. Proof of the increased awareness of design: Elle Decor, a magazine for interior design, is on board as a trade fair cooperation partner and is specifically dedicated to the importance of natural stone for new furnishing and living trends. Find out why a visit to the trade fair is definitely worthwhile this year in our Marmomac outlook.
Harmony of old and new
Our author Alexandra Nyseth presents a successful work in natural stone. The Wien Museum on Karlsplatz has been given a new Dorit shell as part of an extension, conversion and extensive refurbishment. In our opinion: convincing proof that old and new can harmonize very well.
Connection of existing and extension
In a listed terraced house in London, the combination of existing building and extension has also been very harmonious. An extension based on the garden houses of the 18th century contributed significantly to this.
Buildings from four centuries
The new Forum on Museum Island is a special architectural highlight in Berlin. After 20 years of planning and construction, it was recently inaugurated with a grand ceremony. There are buildings from four centuries in the middle of Berlin. The employees of Chipperfield Architects and Patschke & Partner have restored and extended the buildings with a keen sense of the existing structures and their history. In the new issue, you can find out how diverse and interesting Berlin’s new center has become.
In addition, our author Bärbel Daiber introduces you to a whole range of support programs for the skilled trades and attempts to provide an overview of the support programs.
We hope you enjoy reading STEIN.
