Since antiquity, marble has stood for power and elevated status. Based on the Feliciani Collection, a repository of ancient Roman coloured marbles in possession of ETH Zurich, the latest story on Explora traces how marble and other decorative types of stone were deployed in different architectural epochs.

We are proud that two atlases, developed at the Institute of Cartography and Geoinformation (IKG), have won several prizes at the "International Cartographic Conference" in Washington.
