The stone aggregate used in concrete bears an indelible mark of geologic history. Each piece of concrete consists of a unique collection of stones that can be traced back to a specific location in the natural landscape where they were once deposited by glaciers during the last ice age. The aggregate acts as a fingerprint by which the geologic birthplace of a concrete structure can be located. Glaciers moved massive amounts of stone vast distances. In the same way, human civilization has continued this journey of the stone by further transporting it to our urban environments to construct our built environment.  

These 1m x 1m solid concrete cubes are intended to mimic the natural boulders deposited by glaciers during the last ice age and highlight the power and impact human civilization has on the natural environment.
