Abstract:
This thesis focuses on the continuation of our architectural style within historic districts through the use of
contrasting architectural elements. The goal of contrasting design is to respect the existing structures by
putting an emphasis on the differences rather than similarities. The concept is that new and old design
should be easily distinguishable from one another as it is a product of its own era. Therefore, we are able
to continue the architectural heritage from every generation whether it’s past, present or future.
