mid-semester break_heritage precedence

Because this site does call for an understanding of heritage, adaptive reuse and new I thought poignant to look at precedences that have done this. In particular a Swiss architecture firm by the name of Herzog & de Meuron have done to great examples of this the first being the Elbphilharmonie and the CaixaForum. See below for pictures:

Also I thought it important to look at local examples in Brisbane. I found two that combined old and new, which are the National Australia Bank (NAB) on Queen St designed in collaboration between Riddel Architecture and Donavon Hill; and the commercial tower 333 Ann St designed by ML Design. Now of course there are many other examples of adaptive reuse in Brisbane like; Brisbane Powerhouse, Treasury Casino, and The Barracks but I felt these two chosen examples best reflected the approach I want to take in designing this nightclub. See below for pictures of NAB and 333:
