Като част от архитектурна композиция или като самостоятелен обект то ненатрапчиво облагородява архитектурното пространство и се адаптира към околната среда. Многофункционалността му, всички познати и много други, все още неоткрити качества на този древен материал неминуемо го превръщат в забележително изразно средство."
