\nThe marbles used do not derive from voracious quarry operations, but originate from the cut to size of semi-finished products, giving new life and increasing the value of what is considered a byproduct.
\nBy associating the aesthetic and physical qualities of concrete with those of marble, a compound is created that contrasts the smooth surface of the noble stone with the rough surface of the mortar, generating a dialogue that overturns the usual social role of the two materials.
\nHere, as for the alchemists, it was possible to change metal into gold, developing an elixir of eternal life; marble acquires a pop meaning from the formal brutality of the cement paste, which vice versa is ennobled in the brilliance of the stone.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_single_image image=”11682″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
