长期以来，大理石一直是艺术和类似建筑的主材，尽管有可用的替代和近似材料，它的受欢迎程度几乎没有减弱。举例来说，David Chipperfield因为熟练使用这种材料而知名，大理石兼具奢华和低调，更不用说古典和美丽。同时，泰姬陵是世界上最著名的白色大理石建筑，许多华盛顿特区的著名地标建筑如华盛顿纪念碑（世界上最高的石结构），林肯纪念堂和最高法院大楼也由大理石建造。

确实，大理石作为可靠、坚固而优雅的材料，在当代坚持被使用，尤其是在地中海周围的石材开采地。这里有七个包覆高雅白色大理石的建筑例子。

Marble has long been a staple of art and architecture alike, and its popularity has scarcely waned despite the availability of alternatives and approximations. David Chipperfield, for one, is known for his masterful use of the material, which is at once luxurious and understated, not to mention classical and beautiful. Meanwhile the Taj Mahal is among the most famous white-marble building in the world, as are many of Washington, D.C.'s landmarks: the Washington Monument (the world's tallest stone structure), the Lincoln Memorial and Supreme Court Building.
Indeed, marble abides as a reliably robust yet elegant material in contemporary applications, especially in those regions where the building material is quarried, around the Mediterranean. Here are seven examples of buildings that are tastefully clad in white marble.

Groenlandia  /  Triptyque Architecture, 巴西，圣保罗

这个办公室立方体在树木茂盛的环境中脱颖而出。混凝土板悬在二楼的包层上。

The cubic volume of this office stands out among its wooded surroundings. A concrete slab is cantilevered over the wraparound deck on the second story.

克利夫兰艺术博物馆  /  Rafael Viñoly Architects，克利夫兰

克利夫兰艺术博物馆原来是哈贝尔和贝奈斯于1916年设计的学院派建筑，在1971年经过Marcel Breuer 扩建，之后Rafael Viñoly事务所对它进行第二次扩建。乌拉圭建筑师交替使用白色大理石宽带和黑色细条纹，区分两种审美之间的差别，认可了Breuer设计的较暗的建筑侧翼。博物馆的面积有效增加两倍，达到592000平方英尺。从2009年到2013年，该项目分三个阶段开放。

The Cleveland Museum of Art by Rafael Viñoly Architects, Cleveland
Rafael Viñoly was tapped for the second addition to Hubbell and Benes’ original 1916 Beaux-Arts design, following an expansion by Marcel Breuer in 1971. The Uruguayan architect splits the difference between the two aesthetics with broad bands of white marble alternating with thin black stripes, a nod to the rather darker Breuer wing. Effectively doubling the size of the museum, to 592,000 square feet, the project opened in three phases from 2009 to 2013.

Argul Weave  / BINAA | Building Innovation Arts Architecture，土耳其，布尔萨省

这栋办公楼引人注目，因为它的“编织”外表实际用来自土耳其Burdu的白色Patara大理石制成。大楼基底的红色大理石来自土耳其爱琴海地区。

This office building invites a second look, as its “woven” exterior is actually made from white Patara marble, from Burdur, Turkey. The red marble at the foundation comes from the Turkish Aegean region.

帕雷德斯阿莲卡学校中心  /  Andre Espinho Arquitectura， 葡萄牙，阿莲卡

这所学校的特点是长长的白色体量，它位于四个较暗侧屋的顶端，侧屋垂直于下面二楼。大理石和石板产生了明显对比，它们都来自埃斯特雷莫斯。

School Center Paredes Alenquer by Andre Espinho Arquitectura, Alenquer, Portugal
This school is characterized by a long white volume that sits atop four darker wings perpendicular to the second story below. The marble makes a striking contrast with the slate, both of which are sourced in Estremoz.

金属和大理石  /  MG2 Architetture, 意大利，都灵

除了两种徒有虚名的材料之外，该建筑外表以木镶板为特色，以灰白色卡拉拉大理石和深灰色钛锌板来补充。

In addition to the two titular materials, the exterior also features wood paneling, which complements the grayish-white Carrara marble and the dark gray titanium-zinc panels.

AGROS大楼  /  Rocha Leite Arquitectos Associados, 葡萄牙，Argivai

这个公司总部大楼包覆着白色埃斯特雷莫斯大理石饰面砖，颜色适合这家葡萄牙的乳制品公司。

This corporate headquarters is clad in white Estremoz marble tiles — a fitting color for the Portuguese dairy company.

Beaumaris牙科诊所  /  Demaine Partnership Architects, 澳大利亚，博马里斯

是的，这座建筑是个牙科诊所，外表有珍珠白大理石和玻璃

Beaumaris Dental by Demaine Partnership Architects, Beaumaris, Australia
Yep, this is a dental office with a pearly white exterior of marble and glass.
