Amoud

عامود

Amoud is a stone column made out of collected stone architectural ruins. The different stone elements come from different periods, illustrate different techniques of construction. It addresses the question of the possibilities of reusing stone as a structural material as well as the finite resource that it embodies and its consequent effect on the natural landscape. On a more global note, the approach seeks to integrate salvaged building components in contemporary architecture. The stones that will be collected will be geometrically analysed and interfaces based on our actual stereotomy research will allow to create a self standing massive stone column. Under the actual state of the research we are trying to look at the reuse of stone elements and their adaptations to new forms and configurations as structural elements of architecture.
