^ This new plus old gets "not-too-bad" from me: it makes the old building look a bit like a museum exhibit, but perhaps the ruin was in danger of collapse anyway.



^ And talking of museums - Maidstone Museum, UK. I would've been happier with the modern infill if they'd just lowered it a bit so that the new roofline tucked in under the old gutter level.



^ At first glance I liked this juxtaposition of old and new, but now I have a complaint: why didn't they make the glazing bars of the new line up better with the horizontal and vertical lines of the old facade?
