... Library in Canberra, and the Standard Oil Building in Chicago. The stories of these buildings have attracted great attention around the world and, perhaps unfairly, have created a perception that marble is unsuitable for use as exterior cladding. From the late 1990s, the use of marble as exterior cladding...
