"The plot is of a kind whichwill be common in future, with less and less country going spare. A number of Decisions will have to be made ​​Concerning what is to be demolished and how one can adapt oneself or shoulderstand When Building.

When a new building stands next to a new one, the different periods are made ​​articulate, the new Enriches the old and vice versa, Resulting in a powerful wholeness. "
