Marble is one of the leading structural materials since ancient times. Natural stones and marbles are often described as inert, static, and permanent. Yet architects, sculptors, and builders across centuries have treated stone as something far more complex: a material that reacts, adapts, and remembers; and they createdmasterpieces in ever field. While marble is not “alive” in the biological sense, it behaves with a form of material intelligence, responding to climate, time, use, and context in ways synthetic materials cannot.
