2001Prefabrication of marble floors for the concourse areas of about 8.000 m2, in sections of about two feet by four feet, assembled on a fiberglass matt, with the marble pieces being glued with epoxy to the mat. Individual pieces were cut by using computer-driven marble cutting techniques; computer was fed with the actual floor mockups, designed and tested in real dimensions. Paper mockups, marble mockups, computer produced sketches and final drawings were used as means for the design of the floor patterns and for testing them in their actual size.
