At the outset, this was the Mayor’s House. Then, options and possibilities were widened and the project grew to occupy the entire city block. That which had started as a re-construction, became the re-configuration of a considerable and very important part of the old city.

That which existed and that which had previously existed were studied. Topographies, typologies and morphologies were analysed with recourse to traditional methods, as well as using new technologies.
