Building “in” a context differs from building “with” the context more clearly than one might at first expect. The former denotes a philosophy regarding two discrete entities – the existing building and the new construction – that do not communicate with one another. The apparent respect for the older structure might very well conceal a lack of interest. Putting an existing building on a pedestal can also be equivalent to an unwillingness or inability to reflect critically on it. Viewing an existing building as obsolete or as evidence that architecture had been on the wrong path – and which we now have the opportunity to put behind us – could be considered building against the existing fabric. Modernism itself adopted this stance. But there are exceptions, for example a project by Günter Domenig demonstrates a confrontational approach to a Speer-designed relic of National Socialism.
