Research: Secondary (Façadism)

Façadism

Façadism is an architectural and construction practice where the front/facade of the building was designed and constructed separately to the rest of the building. Now it is often used to refer to the facade of a building that is preserved with a new building erected behind or around it.

The location I have chosen to place my structure/design originally had a big three story building on the site which has now been pulled down. However the front facade of the building is listed and is still standing. 

I would like to use this within my design in order to keep some of the original architecture within the town and to make a feature of it.
