The project is about the creation of a pavilion for the yearly international marble exhibition "Marmomacc" in Verona Italy.

The place was formed in two parts, of 100.00m2 each.
The roofed part was used as a meeting place and the open area on the right side was used as the main exhibition place for the marble volumes.

The roofed place, a light metallic structure was designed of two white optically independent cubic structures (4.00/ 10.00/4.00m) shaped in Π formation.
The floor is of "Volaka" stone of 60/1.20m.

The main free exhibition space is made of black wooden floor whith 0.5m strips and marble fragments placed  perimetrically. 

The whole structure is traversed both vertically and horizontally by two black panels of 17.4m and 9.5m with height of 2m to better highlight the marbles. 

The marbles exhibits emerge from the openings in the floor which are surrounded and filled with marble fragments.

The interior is furnished in the black and white trend of the pavilion apart from a red bar. This project received the international prize of "Best communicator awards" in the Design category of the exhibition:
