Stone Strategies: A local, sustainable product for a circular economy.

Join us as we explore the possibilities of stone as a natural resource for sustainable construction.

Hear from a range of speakers on topics including:

• How geology can dictate the design and style of construction
• The retrofit of existing stone buildings with natural products
• Future possibilities in stone construction.

You will also have the chance to view a specially designed stone wall prototype in the Manor House Walled Garden throughout the weekend. The exhibition features stone sourced from across Northern Ireland, cut and arranged in a dry stone format, showcasing how traditional knowledge and contemporary design can come together to craft sustainable solutions.

Sandwiches and refreshments will be served in the Manor House.

Future Island-Island Design Fellowship project in collaboration with S McConnell & Sons.
