And there are folks who tile (funny vitrified tiles are in fashion these days) the space that they are going to spend their life in coz of lack of time! Funny!
Reminder.
Architecture is not about space but about time.

That is Teakwood Sandstone! Gorgeous for outdoors, or wall-cladding.
Work in progress at Kensville Golf Club. There’s no match to the square cobble when it comes to paving outdoors or landscaping. Actually cobble-like stones with smooth surfaces would make amazing indoor flooring too. But then, so many are fooled by the convenience of vitrified tiles.
Passing through the S.G. Highway before the Nirma Uni campus coming from the Thaltej side of Ahmedabad, you might chance upon this building. Natural multi-hued cobble-stone drive-way.
As you see above, we’ve placed different types of natural cobblestone in varying sizes here: granite, marble, sandstone, basalt. Not an exhaustive aggregation but gives you an idea.

All those work-in-progress pics posted earlier lead to this… Look beautiful. Adhunik Brown 75mm thick granite benches. That cavity serves as a planter. A few years hence, there’ll be trees, and lot of shade, god willing, and the promenade may just become a lovely place to hang out…

We are not ‘architects’. But since we supply material to building projects, it isn’t hard to keep wondering about the shapes these buildings take.
Of course, we don’t have a say in anything related to shapes whatsoever. We are mere suppliers of flooring material. At best, we may have a say in ‘quality’ of the flooring material we supply.
Why must a building always feel like a cuboid block? An efficiency-based answer is the best I can muster. That’s it. No more.
I would like buildings that are hill-shaped. We like hills, right? We love hills. If not hill-like they can at least turn out triangle-shaped if they have to be skyscrapers.
These guys in San Francisco named it Pyramid! Alright, let’s bear with it.
Is flooring a part of the furniture? If you say ‘obviously not’, what happens or changes if you treat it as part of furniture?
