Skriverøya Quarry, discovering unintended beauty at an abandoned industrial site

Stone is seeing a revival in architectural constructions, but despite both the material beauty and the constructive qualities of stone, quarrying is seen as a destructive industry. The enormity and scale of our stone quarries, not only as industrial sites but as irreversible incisions into our nature, requires us to evaluate our treatment of the place they leave behind

In this project I investigate the latent potential of a granite quarry to become a place of meaning after production has ceased, and how I, by my role as an architect can contribute to make it so.
