Malcolm Holzman's Stonework is a celebration of this versatile building material and a testament to the author's unique professional vision. Internationally recognised as one of America's leading architects, Holzman shares his insights on stone construction and the implications of using an ancient material to create modern, sustainable structures in the 21'st century. Working on the principle that the continued evolution of stone buildings will lead to architecture possessing a full and consistent meaning for our times, Holzman demonstrates how to take advantage of current methods for fabrication and installation — along with reinvigorated existing ones. Malcolm Holzman, FAIA, is one of the founding partners of Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer Associates. During three decades of practice he has designed a wide variety of notable public buildings in 25 states across the USA. Holzman's advocacy of architectural excellence extends to his participation in international conferences, lectures and teaching.
