Something which is of particular personal interest is how the Viennese work within existing historic buildings in order to integrate contemporary architecture; particularly in the historic centre.
Usually this is achieved by replacing or upgrading the existing roof structure with a light steel and glass addition which concedes to the original form and proportions but provides an interesting contrast through the use of contemporary materials and minimal detailing, creating a sense of lightness in comparison with the heavy, usually Baroque, masonry construction below.
