If
We recognise the question of social, economic and environmental sustainability as the most important starting point;
We radically trust in the existing; not only in the building that is already there, but also in the people who are already there;
We continue to build on the great vision of the 1960s, with architecture that has proven itself capable of constantly adapting to new needs and desires;
We recognise that the building has shortcomings today, which we can improve together on the basis of all existing experience and knowledge;
We look at the existing building as a whole, with each part being significant;
We tear down almost nothing;
We also preserve nature with the building and simply do not destroy anything that has grown over generations;
We continue to build for expansion with strong basic forms, so that we not only reuse the material but also the thinking;
We really leave the familiar and think more innovatively than before.
Then the future lies in the existing structure.
