The project is two-dimensional: the conservation work and the creation of a new architure that, while remaining distint, relate to each other in a process of continuous interaction. The variety of the project is highly regarded precisely for the constant dialogue between old and new, horizontal and vertical lines, wide spaces and narrow ones and open and closed areas.
