Processed Stones Widely Used in Decorating Buildings in Korea
Pyongyang, February 24 (KCNA) -- A variety of processed stones have been widely applied to decorating buildings in Korea.

Typical of the buildings are the State Theatre and the Solar Equipment Centre with handrails, balusters, floors and walls decorated with processed stones, adding figurative arts to them.

In particular, processed granite and marvel largely help buildings get modern aesthetic sense.

Patterned stone decorations and craftworks are also attractions in buildings.

The Chonji Center is a major producer of building materials and stones in the country.

A section chief of the centre, Ri Myong Ho, told KCNA that the center boasts of high-level abilities of developing technologies and products.
