How are existing urban structures integrated into new urban architecture designs?

Existing urban structures are often integrated into new urban architecture designs by acknowledging their existing characteristics and adapting the design to complement or enhance them. This could involve incorporating elements of the existing building or structure into the design, such as preserving the facade or façade elements, or using the building materials in new ways. Additionally, designers often take into consideration the surrounding neighborhood and context, incorporating complementary design elements and materials to create a cohesive urban landscape. Sustainability and environmental impact are also important considerations, and designers may incorporate green roofs, solar panels, or other eco-friendly features that align with the existing structures. Overall, successful integration of existing urban structures requires creativity, adaptability, and a thorough understanding of the building and its context.
