Venue: 

Nicholas Anthony Kitchens, Bathrooms & Interiors, 121 Chesterton Road, Cambridge, CB4 3AT

Course Overview:

Natural stone CPD with Ca' Pietra: specify with confidence. Stone types, finishes, durability, provenance & sustainability. Drinks follow.

A CPD from Ca' Pietra, presented with the Cambridge Association of Architects

Natural stone is one of the oldest materials we build with and one of the most easily misjudged at the point of specification. This session gives architects the grounding to specify with confidence.

We will cover the differences between stone types and where each performs best, how finish and format change the outcome, what to consider for durability and maintenance, and how provenance and sustainability factor into the decision.

The evening combines technical detail with practical guidance you can apply on live projects, followed by time for questions over drinks and refreshments.
