A ground for potential architecture : critical interpretation and representation of place

The creation of a new project within an existing built environment requires more than just the careful preservation of the historical setting or domination of the ongoing architecture. Rather, the new work must sustain the vital reality of place and its external form in conjunction with the unity of all ages: past, present and future. / It is through this quest for architectural continuity that the peculiarly human quality of different places may be understood and reinterpreted. In this way, architecture can give shape to and preserve the meaningful lived-reality of place. Only through an active encounter with "place", may we create more of its dynamic vitality.
