Stone is one of the world's oldest building materials, appreciated for its strength and durability. In ancient times it was chosen for its abundance: As a natural material, it was readily available and dependable.
These incredible images show how stone is a building material of endless opportunity, that it can be formal, elegant, playful and energising.
Among the featured buildings are an incredible Roman aqueduct in France, a 12th-century church built inside a carved pit in Ethiopia and a quirky museum - and former house - surrounded by boulders in Portugal.
Some photographs in Video feature in a new book, simply called Stone, by architect William Hall. You can buy here that book: https://bit.ly/2UcixML
