Building Stone Magazine, founded by the
Building Stone Institute (BSI) – now the MIA+BSI: Natural Stone
Institute – and published through a partnership with BNP Media, is the
trusted source of natural stone information for architects, landscape
architects, interior designers and consumers alike. Through
editorial and visually inspiring photography of stone installations, Building Stone Magazine
provides a direct portal of necessary stone awareness and technical
resources to benefit the decision makers who impact our built
environment.
Natural stone – by definition – is a natural and sustainable
building product. Readily desired for its aesthetic beauty, its
versatility in use, enduring life cycle, low maintenance and 100%
recyclable qualities substantiate natural stone as a preferred green
building product. The members of the MIA+BSI, in collaboration with
other stone industry groups and the Natural Stone Council, will
communicate through Building Stone Magazine
how our industry operates in an environmentally, socially &
economically responsible manner to further promote natural stone’s green
attributes that extend beyond LEED points recognition. Our goal is to
effectively communicate the benefits of natural stone to those who
ultimately will make design and product selections that support a
healthier, more sustainable environment.
