Join us next Friday, October 24th, 12–1PM in 10-401 (Fish Bowl) for a talk with Brian Smith, Director of QLAB, and Alex Marshall, MIT MArch '13 alum and Vice President at Quarra Stone Company.

Founded in 1989 with just six craftsmen, Quarra Stone Company has grown into one of the leading architectural stone fabricators in the U.S. Based in Madison, Wisconsin, Quarra bridges centuries-old craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology. From hand carving and 3D scanning to robotic milling and digital modeling.

Their projects span from the U.S. Capitol to House of Horns by WOJR to contemporary art installations such as MIT’s own Officer Sean Collier Memorial, translating design intent into enduring material form. This work not only preserves stone’s ancient legacy but redefines its role in shaping today’s built environment.
