Layering the Present
Architecture is living heritage. The idea, style, structure and function reflect the social, technological and cultural identity of its time, and they are consistently recorded and remembered in our built environment. In this sense, the Old Seminary building must be considered as an accumulation of layers of important historical events, which means that the new addition to the School of Architecture must also be considered as an act of adding another layer of history. Therefore, the new addition is neither a resultant of literal imitation of formal features of the old nor an expressive element of contemporary architecture; it must rather be an outcome of reinterpretation of the existing structure's characteristics, and translation into a new form of architectural elements. As a result, the accumulated layers of the old and the new create another interpretation as a whole.
