We start with a complex analysis dedicated to theoretical aspects of the preservation of the cultural heritage especially values in architecture, heritage conservation approaches and a discourse analysis. This is followed by a processual design phase, where the theoretical conception is transferred into an architectural solution by means of creative design.
