The book of architect Irina Margareta Popovici, "Ages and Buildings of Natural Stone – Stereotomy," published by Agir Publishing House in December 2017, is an original and interesting work on the subject of stereotomy science. Stereotomy was taught in the School of Architecture, following the French School model, but was abandoned as a subject after the Second World War. The author tries to bring it back to life. Based on her 40 years of activity in this field, she considers stereotomy a necessary area in the field of construction.

 

The book provides the minimum knowledge required for the execution of works of natural stone, as a whole structure or as decoration on a building, as well as for avoiding errors. The book also contains a brief history of important natural stone works, explained somewhat in the context of the evolution of architectural styles.

 

Understanding the concepts outlined in this book may be necessary to architects so that they give due weight to stone work right from the beginning of their study, giving them notions of how not to waste the material they have at their disposal and how to exploit it to the maximum. At the same time the material presented provides information on aesthetic elements as well as providing solutions to the principle of resistance.

 

In the same way, the knowledge given are useful to those working in the natural stone industry and on sites to ensure the optimal processing and installation of the pieces that make up the stone work.

 

At the same time, the general public can benefit from enhancing their knowledge about this field, since the book contains a history of the important works made in natural stone on the territory of Romania, as well as of Europe.
