- Many of the world's greatest historical structures and buildings have been constructed with stone, but the material is largely no longer used in construction because of its cost. A New York startup is trying to change that.
"CBS Saturday Morning" co-hosts Jeff Glor, Michelle Miller and Dana Jacobson deliver two hours of original reporting and breaking news, as well as profiles of leading figures in culture and the arts. Watch "CBS Saturday Morning" at 7 a.m. ET on CBS and 8 a.m. ET on the CBS News app.

Go to any downtown and you'll see just how beautiful normal everyday shops and other structures used to be built. It's not just stone that needs to make a comeback, but also brick. Stone materials can last centuries, as the video showed, and it's a plentiful and eco-friendly resource. Many of our buildings today will not be able to be passed down to future generations; a privilege we take for granted with our current historic structures.
This is absolutely fantastic! The applications in restoring historical buildings and in modern building will be amazing. I truly hope that one day modern architecture brings back the beauty, craftsmanship and a bit of the gingerbread of old.
And I can only imagine what a machine like this could’ve done in the hands of a brilliant artist like Michelangelo. Amazing!
I love stone work. So much more character.
While the guy with the opposing view isn't wrong about sourcing being a hurdle for architectural masonry, the fact that there are stone structures still standing today built thousands of years ago is a testament to stone's long-term durability (under the right conditions). Obviously not every single building or structure should (or can) be made from stone. But certain buildings that serve key functions would benefit from being constructed with longevity in mind; and in exchange for higher upfront cost you'd likely save money over the long term, provided maintenance isn't super expensive.
Again, building with stone doesn't work everywhere, but in places where it would work, it'd be great to see more of it.
We all know he just wants us to buy his concrete junk instead.
It's funny seeing skyscrapers being made from wood and now stonework making a comeback.
Stone may remain expensive, but this technology can still be used on a variety of materials and it definitely is a game changer
I cannot express in words how exciting this is for me! Finally!👏🏼😍
A "5th of the cost of traditional methods" means we eliminate the cost of skilled stone carvers and stone masons.
Maybe, but handmade rugs, quilts, glasses, jewerly, etc still exist as novelty or hobbies. People will keep it alive because its an art.
There was no market for these stone masons and carvers. It's a lost career it said so in the video
@@user-ny5yo2mc3x There are many fewer stone carvers and stone masons nowadays, but the profession has not disappeared completely. The French found artisans to work on Notre Dame Cathdral.
Yes, but those skilled carvers and masons haven't been in demand for over half a century; We already completely relegated construction work to whichever large masses of workers can just cast thick concrete slabs and assemble them together.
This isn't exactly the same thing as the whole "robots taking our jobs" event happening with automation.
What carvers and masons? They’ve already been put out of work by concrete, steel, glass, and plastics. If anything, this is increasing the opportunities for these jobs.
This is amazing, I wish this gentleman all the success.
I've been waiting years for this to happen, it's so exciting
I really love this video. I wish this new startup a lot of success!😊
This is a brilliant and very creative idea. I would love to see a resurgence of stone architecture. More power to this guy! Do it!!
Stone looks so good
The round embellishment they showed looked very similar to what I've seen for polished quartz aggregate precast. For cnc milling of stone to really shine they will need to demonstrate Bas Relief and I'd be excited to see it.
GOOD!!! I love carved stone, esp. on buildings. One of my favorite places in NYC is the Bethesda Terrace (arcade and fountain) within Central Park.
This is amazing!
So cool!
A stone bridge from 1000 years ago is still in use today, but all the steel and concrete bridges built 50 years ago need to be torn down and rebuilt. Need we say more?
That's fantastic
Awesome!❤🔥
Yes!
Stone Rocks!
Great marketing! Hope this becomes standard practice.
Finally people understanding the importance of beauty like our ancestors did. Hopefully this will spark a revolution in modern architecture
The longevity is the most important part, architecture can’t be sustainable if it doesn’t last more than decades.
How is this reviving a building technique? The technique is totally new and different. The product is revived.
I am curious why the final details would still be done by an artist; is the machine not capable of that detailed work despite it switching tools on its own and the designer able to put that information into the program? Nothing against the artist, but if one of the goals was to reduce costs, that would (or should) be a big one.
Negative dude apposing stone because he didn't think of it himself lol, would not want to hang out or work for that guy. On the other hand i would take a job at the stone place in a second
Very cool 😎
wow
I think the professor has the right take on it. Will be used primarily for historic preservation but stone itself as a material is still very expensive. Good architecture isn't just about the materials itself, because while they are very important, a great architect can make near any construction material work for the form you want it to be and have it be cost effective. Having it be stone does not help in that last bit. Additionally, ornate designs just aren't in style anymore. There are numerous factors for that, but it's just the truth that the people crying out that today's architecture is "soul-less" is just people reminiscing about the past. Funnily enough, back when Beaux-Arts was in style some people were actually wanting a lot more simplicity in designs, which brought on the modernist movement. So, before you type another comment saying how you "wish we had beautiful buildings again!" try and do some history
The sun beating down on stone is also going to raise those electricity prices. Id suggest making like a cool stone frame for each reflective glass panel or something instead of going full stone panel.
Why do you think that would raise power prices?

How much water spends
nyc rich guy learns what cnc machining is
It’s CNC… it’s just CNC…
YEAHH
*I want to invest in that.*
👏👏👏👏👏👏
For ordinary buildings or modern ones this would be suitable but for restoration of old buildings especially the ones we have here in Europe maybe not. Part of the the beauty of the decoration of some the old buildings is the input put into it by the stonemasons. Many of the gargoyles on cathedrals, which hide roof pipe drains or just decoration, were created by the stonemason from their own thought. Their was no set plan for them. That is why the structure of the cathedral is so unique. When they are being replaced today the tradition of the stonemason creating his own style gargoyle. Many of the modern ones have influences from films of today. Darth Vader has appeared a couple of times! This new technique though helpful may be making the craft sterile?
$300k-$400k for that robot? You could have custom built a 7 axis CNC with way more travel for a small fraction of that.
I’m curious why auto assembly lines are creating ornamental stone work for buildings.
🤦🏻
This is not at all reviving classic techniques, this is a new technique hahahaha. Still cool
I've said this YEARS.
I miss nyc. Too high there. $. Okla.❤

Love stone work, but all that water used, could they not use sand or a grinding head instead?
Water can be recycled
Imnot impressed cause HANDS have been making work BEYOND THIS since forever ago.
It’s funny how we didn’t need it back then but somehow we needed it now. Why was it not expensive then and where is the money going? That is supposed to be there for the rebuilding that’s not going where it’s supposed to be going because it’s going where it’s not supposed to be going to fund people that aren’t supposed to be getting what they’re getting?
What about all that water?
Good point.
it can be reused
Pretty easy, to filter out stone dust, which itself is useful
But there are no structures good enough to hold stone up anymore.
Terra cotta
Yeah and just look at all that water it uses. Hopefully they are recycling the wastewater? But not a guarantee
That professor is way off base, stone is not going anywhere any time soon
Why does it beed to be real stone? Once you excavate that rock, it could take up to 500 million years to recycle back into a rock. 🏝️🌋🪨
A buildings facade could be made of painted aluminum or plastic and you wouldn’t notice from far away.
It takes significantly less time to recycle plastic and aluminum than rock.
Buildings have a life span shorter than stone.
I hope this takes off because modern architecture is terrible. We should be able to make the things of the past in less time and cheaper. I can guess why that’s not happening: corporate greed
It's sad to see one of the greatest joys in life be replaced with robots: the connection between the artist and the material. This technology is hungry, voracious, and it's disguising how expensive it is with the idea that it's "cheaper" to manufacture. Those machines costing $300-400 thousand... and the environmental impact? See through the BS. This has the potential to be art, if it focuses on new design not replacing the oldies. But be honest... this is not cheaper than the traditional methods and certainly it removes the joy from the work of carving in stone that we as a species have enjoyed for centuries.
Maybe try paying the people who carve stone on buildings as much as those who work in them...
Just kidding, these will only go on residential buildings. I left architecture school specifically because I wouldn't waste my life designing buildings I could never afford to live in.
If you truly want more great buildings. Be better people worthy of having them. They will get built.
Glass and metal has ruined every American city
I hope so, glass and steel buildings are crap.
Bring back affordable housing
Think about Blackrock's bottom line and their all cash transactions. Doesn't that matter more than affordable housing?
🤔 why not use cast concrete into molds?!?! It can be colored and can be mass produced in a fraction of the time and is still technically rock...🤔😡
The thing is I want to know how thousands of gallons of water the machine is using or the recycle the water
they must recycle, its cheaper than getting to pay a bill for nothing.
Cool for restoration… but why would we step backwards in design? Use new tech to create sculptures that were never possible. 3D printed sculptures is the way to go.
More complex than the master?... wrong.dead wrong
Kinda sad in a way, that it’s a machine doing that and not a human.
40+ hours for one panel plus do they reclaim and reuse the water? Interesting idea but it doesn’t seem practical. But, I can see it’s place in restoring old architecture.
Cool. Tech bro starts stone carving factory and employs as few people as possible to make the largest margins. What happens when there’s no artisans getting paid. Who’s buying the stuff computers make?
Did you miss the part where stoneworks have been rare altogether these days and how human artists are still used in the process to refine what the robots can't do?
Seems to me that this is helping to preserve and revive something that's been becoming a lost art. Also, he's just one business--not the whole industry.
The Jetsons.. duh!
Why the reporter never ask about the water thousands of gallons of water is it recycling or wat
Or we could pay people to be stone masons. And build jobs where people can feel skilled, accomplished and respected. We are still not factoring in humanity in our future economic development.
postmodernism and modernism architecture is not beautiful.
Lol. Zero tradesmen, zero skill, just machines. You’re not bringing anything back. Typical NY bs
