Sixteen young international architects took part in two intensive training days in Carrara, organized by FUM Academy and YACademy, featuring visits to the marble quarries and a design workshop focused on the use of the material.
She reproduced the rustic surface on the platform using white porcelain, a strong material able to imitate any detailed surface.
