Presentation of the book “La lliçó de la pedra” by Ivana Ponsoda

Everything you want to know about dry-stone construction gathered in one book: this is the lesson of architect Ivana Ponsoda i Revert—her wide-ranging vision of stone as a construction technique, as a heritage asset, and as a contemporary element within the building sector.

Ivana Ponsoda starts from the premise that each stone is unique and that, therefore, the technique of dry-stone construction is more intuitive than rational. She also highlights that stones possess a balance our senses can perceive. Based on this idea—touching and listening to the stones—she argues that one can learn the rules of a practice capable of creating beautiful and enduring structures.
