The aim of this research is to obtain conclusions regarding the way that contemporary architecture "invades" a historical building, and to make an attempt to answer the following questions:
• How can we achieve balance and unity between the new and the old?
• To what extent can we intervene in the building and how is this need justified?
• In what ways are the values of the monument highlighted through the new design and how does the use of contemporary materials affect this process?
• Which uses and materials are considered to be the most appropriate for the forts?
