New Architecture as Infill in Historical Context

Abstract

Strategies and theoretical issues are analysed in cases, where new architecture is implemented in the historical urban fabric as infill aligned along the street façade with the historical presence. The analysis of examples shows that there is a shift in strategies applied at the beginning of the 20th century until today, from a contrasting approach to referential and differential strategies and back to a contrasting approach in our days; however, it was originally introduced in a different manner.
