Entry Description

The architectural style of the eastern side was preserved, with structural reinforcement and facade and roof repairs carried out. The western side building did not meet the height requirements, necessitating the demolition and reconstruction of the floor slabs, roof, and south facade, along with overall structural strengthening. A new steel frame structure was introduced, creating a nested structure within the building. This dialogue between the newly constructed modern architecture and the preserved historical buildings resulted in the creation of a parent-child center.
