We’re gonna build so many stone buildings and cover them in topographical sculptures that you get bored of them and have to reinvent minimalism.

Once labor (and hence craft) becomes expensive societies have difficulty stockpiling their wealth in the form of beautiful built environments. Luckily, robots and AI will make constructing intricate and beautiful things cheaper than ever before and turn us into great builders

Yes! For this to happen, masonry can’t be an add-on to a wood frame. The structure will need to be stone and the facade integrated with it. (Hence Monumental Labs)

Imagine hundreds of robots working 24/7, tool paths generated automatically, robot pickers mounting and moving blocks with NASCAR efficiency. That’s how stone becomes default in architecture.
