Study of local materials and textures
The visual shows the landscape intervention transformed from the finished mine, a section view of the marble mountain body and the veins lead to the ice cap in front.
One walks on the scored pathway, which is the traces of artisan marble mining, creating a horizontal texture serving non-slip and drainage function.

Marble installation by the glacier
Two bridges are made of big block of marble according to the sizes how they were usually cut in the mine. Between some blocks, the gaps are filled with crushed marble stones, which will be carried away as the summer flood come, and leaving a white trace on the river bed, becoming visible in winter.
