MODERN ARCHITECT on Instagram: "The genesis of enduring architecture is found deep within the rugged landscape of the earth. ⛰️ In the quarries of Sobral, #Brazil, massive vertical sections of white stone are cleaved from the mountain and toppled by gravity. 💫 These raw monoliths expose the pristine texture and structural density of the material before it is refined for surface applications. 🏛️ Observe the monumental scale of extraction required to source natural stone. 🏗️ 🎥 via @shayanstone
