Research and publishing in architecture transform ideas into culture, uncertainties into fields of experimentation, the observable into the thinkable and the invisible into a reality. New Moon is an editorial project that aims to open up collective conversations. It engages in technical, theoretical and academic explorations that promote a research-practice approach and critical thinking. It was founded in 2023 by Barrault Pressacco.

Revealing the resource, exploring the material
This research focuses on the ability of the stone sector to take part significantly in the construction, and demonstrates the abundance of the resource. It showcases the low consumption of energy used during the material’s transformational steps – extraction, sawing, transfer and emplacement and highlights the recent interest in massive stone construction.
