Material selection in large-scale construction is no longer based solely on appearance or initial cost. Architects, developers, and contractors increasingly evaluate materials through the lens of long-term performance, lifecycle value, and adaptability to changing design standards. Within this context, terrazzo has regained attention. Once associated primarily with historic institutional buildings, terrazzo is now being reconsidered for modern commercial and public developments.

This raises an important question: is terrazzo a future-proof material for large buildings? To answer this, it is necessary to examine how terrazzo floors perform over time, how terrazzo slabs are manufactured, and how evolving terrazzo design capabilities align with contemporary construction demands.
