Core Tip: Modern architecture has developed in China for more than a hundred years. Over the past 50 years, the construction industry in New China has been developing rapidly. The application of stone in construction has been increasing in number and expanding in use. In structural engineering, stone is the main aggregate of concrete, directly used as stone pillars, beams, cushions and other decorative projects.

Over the past hundred years, modern architecture has developed in China. Over the past 50 years, the construction industry in New China has been developing rapidly. The application of stone in construction has been increasing in number and expanding in use.

In structural engineering, stone is the main aggregate of concrete, directly used as pillars, beams, cushions and so on. Stone is widely used as surface material in decoration engineering. Stone carving decoration, industrial buildings, stone grooves and other container applications. One of the most typical applications is the stone curtain wall and the other is the stone home decoration. With the change of the times, the improvement of human aesthetic taste and the pursuit of uniqueness, stone is favored because of its natural attributes, which can satisfy peoples pursuit of permanent and unique inner desire.

Stone in modern architectural decoration mainly embodies the following characteristics and advantages:

1. Noble and elegant.

Stone has noble and elegant, bright and shining, hard and permanent characteristics, different stones have different beauty. All kinds of public and high-grade buildings have been upgraded with decorative stone.

2. Unique and diverse

Stone is a unique building material. It has irreplaceable material properties. Its texture is not comparable with any other synthetic materials and composite materials. When natural stone is mined, it is usually large pieces of waste material. Designers can design the size and shape of stone according to their own design requirements. At the same time, the diversity of stone materials and unique processing possibilities are unique in building materials.

3. Comfort and energy saving

Stone has good thermal conductivity and high thermal storage capacity, warm in winter and cool in summer, which is conducive to energy saving, has good thermal conductivity and high thermal storage capacity. As building materials for building exterior walls, in summer, it can isolate sunlight.

4. Beautiful and durable

Stone has the characteristics of durability, beauty, easy cleaning and acid rain resistance. It is an ideal material for building materials, especially for building exterior walls.

5. Suitable for modeling

Stone is a three-dimensional building material. In addition to square slabs and massive stones, natural stones can also be made into any shape. For example, holes and grooves are machined on the surface of natural stones, so that the surface of stones presents special optical and visual effects.

6. Suitable for design

The diversity of stone materials, no building material has such rich colors and varieties as natural stone, and the surface treatment is unlimited, architects and architects can use them to play their imagination.

7. Cost-effective

The long-term comprehensive cost of stone is low. If we pay attention to the total cost of various building materials for 30 years or more, we can see that the total cost of natural stone is not higher than that of other artificial building materials.

8. Technological innovation

With the development of special construction tools for stone, the application technology of stone in construction is becoming more and more mature.
