The influence from the two quite similar but very different degrees that Valia undertook shape an architectural vocabulary which respects “the old” but at the same time celebrates “the new”, and becomes inspired from the past without overlooking the importance of elements derive from the modern everyday life and its needs. As a result, the architecture achieves taking into account the social, cultural and economic context of today’s world.
