Marbletecture views the making of buildings as a process, a sort of metabolism in which the client, the architect, and the contractor interact to produce a structure specific and unique to that particular interaction of individuals.
Creating a good building is like crafting a fine wine: it takes what ordinarily seems like a random succession of interactions and wrangles them into a coherent, more controlled process: Starting with the constraints of site and budget, Marbletecture initiates the primary fermentation - the interaction between the client and architect - which produces the architectural design. Once this has been filtered through the process of permitting, the secondary fermentation - the interaction between the client and contractor - begins. When completed, the project is a built record of these interactions, reflecting the contribution of all involved.
