Developing a dialogue between old and new: North Carolina University Center for Art and Architecture

In the preservation of a small historic church, a state-wide education center for the arts is proposed due to the similarity of their inherent and adaptive nature in function.

A similar sized, new building mass with a contemporary design style is added to the old church; it will also utilize a competitive contrast to the old church in its design. The integration of the old and the new buildings will find new meanings within historic preservation.
