 * I see... before starting the program you told me that you are thinking about studying architecture, it means you also like this area!, tell me what do you think are the advantages of stone in architecture?**

hahah... yes that´s right I am considering that. Well once I read about that! and for construction there are different kind of stone that favors it. I remember one was rubble, which is the simplest and the cheapest stonework, an another is ashlars masonry, which is the strongest and most suitable stonwork, that are regularly cut blocks.

**Ok... and what about the disavantages? what do you think?**

well I think, depending of the type of stone that you will be using you will have a great construction. In my opinion, Architects or the people who plan this projects should take into account the characteristics of the stone that they will be using, because it could be weak and poor quality.

 Jajaja. That is really true. Well, Bricks have some disadvantages, Few, but has… Basically has to do with the weight and cost. Initially, the cost is very high. Also I say that Masonry tends to be heavy and must be built upon a strong foundation (usually reinforced concrete) to avoid potential settling and cracking, and all this adds a lot of weight to the foundation or structure in construction. <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Courier New'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: ES-VE;">
