Material
The notion of stereotomy is linked with stone construction, as this material is embodied in its seminal concept, coupe des pierres. The material of which voussoirs are made encodes itself various properties which might influence their choice or even the general design. Although the properties – constraints and opportunities – of stone are well known when used in stereotomy, the more recent exploration of other materials in stereotomic construction calls for the below systematic analysis of various signifiers associated with voussoir materials: Sustainability, Structural performance and Material typology.
