What is actually the attraction of the so-called hybrid?

The term, which was established in the identity debate, in the cultural theory of post-colonialism and in linguistics, has a long history in architecture without being linked to a specific program.

Since the Second World War at the latest, he has had a career in the preservation of monuments and for several years in urban planning. In architecture, hybrid describes a hybrid being, specifically the mixture of old, traditional and new avant-garde design elements. Often on the same structure. The most recent example: the Berlin City Palace.
