BALANCE BETWEEN CONSERVATION AND REPLACEMENT: The new spaces are in balance with respect to the pre- existing spaces.

The intervention in the excavation area offers a volume extension of about 30% in comparison to the public areas actually in use.

BALANCE BETWEEN CONSERVATION AND REPLACEMENT: The supporting structure is composed in a balanced way by pre-existing structures and new structures.

Structural interventions in the existing area are carried out by a steel construction with additional concrete elements.

PREVALENT REPLACEMENT / DISCONTINUITY: The materials chosen for the new intervention show more differences than similarities compared to the pre-existing.

The materials chosen for the new intervention are commonly different from the existing ones.
