Stone Carving Building

Project is located on Tchebebe, Kenya. The purpose of the project is to familiarize the stone carving. Stone carving, which is among the extinct professions, is being forgotten today. In order to prevent this, an exhibition area where a person can stay has been designed. Tools used in stone carving are exhibited in this area. In addition to these, the festivals and the products produced are also exhibited and information about stone carving is given.

Stone carving is an activity where pieces of rough natural stone are shaped by the controlled removal of stone. Owing to the permanence of the material, stone work has survived which was created during our prehistory.

Work carried out by paleolithic societies to create stone tools is more often referred to as knapping. Stone carving that is done to produce lettering is more often referred to as lettering. The process of removing stone from the earth is called mining or quarrying.

Stone carving is one of the processes which may be used by an artist when creating a sculpture. The term also refers to the activity of masons in dressing stone blocks for use in architecture, building or civil engineering. It is also a phrase used by archaeologists, historians, and anthropologists to describe the activity involved in making some types of petroglyphs.

Stones are displayed step by step as a mass in order to attract visitors to the area. The stone found as a cube in the first step is detailed in the next step. It was detailed in the next step and took its final form in the 7th step. The purpose of these steps is to make the visitor passing through the street curious and to enter.

It was aimed to establish a visual relationship between the stones of the castle ruin found in the field and the exhibition area. The trees on the land were preserved and the building was placed among the trees.
