It is also important to take into consideration the basic principles as follows; minimum intervention, harmonization and distinction of old and new design, reversibility to original condition. The most difficult task of Modern Architecture is how to keep the surface of exposed concrete finish and how to design replaced interior space including new machines and lightings.
