New Roof Structure: Resting Outside the Old Walls

An old building with a destroyed roof. The new steel structure roof is supported by independent columns, which are located on the ground inside the old walls. The roof maintains a distance from the top of the old walls, leaving a gap for natural light. The old walls do not bear any weight from the new roof. Avoid: directly placing the new roof on the old walls, chiseling installation holes in the top of the old walls, allowing the new roof to completely cover and obscure the wall tops, enclosing the old walls with the new structure so they are not visible.

一棟屋頂已毀的老建築。新的鋼構屋頂由獨立的柱子支撐,柱子落在老牆內側的地面上,屋頂與老牆的頂端保持一段距離,中間留出採光的縫。老牆不承受新屋頂的任何重量。避免:把新屋頂直接架在老牆上、在老牆頂端鑿出安裝孔、讓新屋頂完全覆蓋遮住牆頂、用新結構把老牆包起來看不見。
