Building stone, its deposits, its extraction, and its use represents an element that may be considered a bridge between cultural and natural heritage of a given area. The research on building materials includes numerous aspects such as geological and geomorphological settings of the deposits, cultural aspects, overlaps with geoconservation efforts and urban geotourism development. The case study from Brno (Czech Republic) presents examples of building stones used in the city with an emphasis on Crinoidea Limestone and Old Red Conglomerate and Sandstone. These materials have been extracted since Middle Ages and they have left an imprint in the identity and look of the city. Both extraction sites and building stones present several mutually interconnected aspects, including the specifics of the deposits, history of mining, use of the stone in architecture, its importance within archaeological and historical research, its reflection in toponyms, the importance of old quarries (landforms) for geoconservation and their role in urban development. Based on the research and assessment of extraction sites, geotourist and geoeducational activities are designed with an emphasis on the complex promotion of natural and cultural heritage. Proposals for the activities which could be available even during the times of social distancing are also outlined.

建筑用石、其沉积物、提取物及其使用代表了一种元素，可被视为特定地区的文化和自然遗产之间的桥梁。对建筑材料的研究包括许多方面，如矿床的地质和地貌环境、文化方面、与地质保护工作和城市地质旅游发展的重叠。布尔诺（捷克共和国）的案例研究展示了该市使用的建筑石材的例子，重点是 Crinoidea 石灰石和旧红色砾岩和砂岩。这些材料自中世纪以来就被提取出来，它们在城市的身份和外观上留下了印记。开采地点和建筑石头都呈现出几个相互关联的方面，包括矿床的具体情况、采矿历史、石头在建筑中的使用、它在考古和历史研究中的重要性、它在地名中的反映、旧采石场（地貌）对地理保护的重要性及其在城市发展中的作用。在对开采地点的研究和评估的基础上，设计了地质旅游和地理教育活动，重点是对自然和文化遗产的综合推广。还概述了即使在社会疏远时期也可以进行的活动的建议。地质旅游和地理教育活动的设计重点是对自然和文化遗产的综合促进。还概述了即使在社会疏远时期也可以进行的活动的建议。地质旅游和地理教育活动的设计重点是对自然和文化遗产的综合促进。还概述了即使在社会疏远时期也可以进行的活动的建议。
