Abstract
Exploration of current trends in the Contextual Architecture (urban setting), meanings of context and finding new ways to connect to the existing. The key issue is establishing a relationship between new building and its setting (frames) through contextual processes like local scenarios or phenomenon or negotiation with site. The principles of dialogue and tension are tools that allow us to establish the new contextual order.
