The project is a building with a material lab and food lab on the lower floor and a restaurant on the upper floor. Although architecture reconstruction and food preservatives seem to have no correlations, they produce authenticity from a replica similarly. This duality shows how our society responds to the UNESCO Heritage and how restaurant space results from the split to examine the effect. Reconstruction is an invisible gesture to reproduce authenticity. The formal reading and material differentiate the laboratory and restaurant space. With the elevational change and separated circulation, the tourist would not be able to visually see the laboratory yet to receive the effect produced by the space.

The laboratories with minimal transparent curtain walls express the production process on the lower floor and how the mass production generates the substitution in the reconstruction. The restaurant is an enclosed space with multiple apertures to connect the city. The space also receives the perception and shows the output of continual reproduction. The structure building on the defensive wall expands the tourist path beyond the UNESCO boundary and produces a new identity for the site that acts as a buffer between the heritage and the park. The project amplifies the concept of how reconstruction extends the building from its site and produces an authentic effect.
