A Study in Architectural Contrasts: 12 Modern-Meets-Historic Additions (2021)

12 new historic additions have been made to the archtecture pantheon with modern styles.

These structures implement historic aspects of design, including pediments and columns, but they are infused with modern architectural philosophy and design.

Some of these range from office buildings to museums in Mexico and Germany.

Key Takeaways:

  • In some cases, these modern renovations successfully preserve the originals while bringing something fresh and new, while others fall on their faces.
  • In restoring Istanbul’s Beyazit Public Library, which dates back to 1501 and holds a collection of rare books, Tabanlioglu Architects took a minimal-intervention approach.
  • Three historic homes come together into a single residence with the addition of a modern volume for ‘House in Vexin’ by Jean-Philippe Doré. The existing buildings were renovated in the vernacular style of the French village.
