CCM, also signed by certain fortification_touch as it has been cultivated in the local tradition, is tending to express an vague attribution: early step of design is based on the consequences of imagined tectonic "provoked by centuries" on the still unexisting building. Those fractures/cracks are not literally emulated, they are interpreted by standard architectural vocabulary: skylight, double height ceiling_slash, etc., but on the unexpected positions.

>Outer walls are treated as stone_surface with "after_sliced" openings
>Fig.7/9: "After_sliced" openings in the stone_surface are occasionally exposing the illegible thickness of architecture.

The side windows are articulated as stone_wall_pattern in stylized "tetris" interpretation, made in thermally banded glass with dual gradation of translucency.
