M
ermer bir duvar ne kadar özgün ve etkileyici
olabilir? Yunanistan’dan Point Supreme
mimarlığın Atina’daki Interior Design
Show 2010 için yarattığı ‘Marble Mural’
bu soruya çarpıcı bir yanıt veriyor. Point
Supreme mermer için yazılan bir ilahi olarak
tanımladığı ‘Marble Mural’ı her biri farklı kaynaklara,
doğal tarihe, renk, doku ve görüntüye sahip yedi ayrı
mermerden tasarlamış. Bu mermer parçaları farklı
geleneksel ve dijital tekniklerle işlenerek, mermerin
doğasından gelen hikayelerle bütünleşen bir anlatım
oluşturulmuş. Delikler, bariz ve gizli kesikler, iki ve
üç boyutlu rölyefler, dijital ya da elle yapılan baskılar,
geçmişe ve geleceğe dair görüntüler ve ışık, mermeri
alışık olduğumuz temiz ve mutlak görünümünden
çok başka, hikayeler anlatan ve saklayan, resme
dönüşebilen, ayakta duran ve hatta alan yaratan zengin

oint Supreme Architects, founded in Rotterdam in 2007 by
Konstantinos Pantazis and Marianna Rentzou and joined by Beth
Hughes in 2009, is now based in Athens. Their work integrates
research, architecture, urbanism, landscape and graphic design.
Their project Marble Mural made for the Interior Design Show 2010
in Athens, Greece, is in their words ‘a hymn to marble’. Marble Mural is a 10 x
2m wall consisting of 7 marble pieces of different origin, natural history, color,
texture and image, altered via CNC engraving, painting, digital printing, water
cutting, and sculptural techniques while supported on a steel frame. Each
marble slab was treated by hand as well as digitally in order to realize a more
complex marble work.
The marble pieces used for Marble Mural were treated with various traditional
and digital techniques of workmanship that mingle with the inherent material
narrations; holes, hidden or visible cuts, two or three dimensional relief, digital
or handmade print, imagery from the past and the future, light. Consequently,
marble is revealed not as the clean and current matter we are accustomed to
seeing it as, but rather as a rich, thick live object that hides and reveals stories,
