Once again, this site calls for some creativity: wrap the entire building in glass with the highrise supported on columns--kind of Alsop stilt-like but more transparent.
I love this idea. I think it could look fantastic, and with less exposure to the elements the old building, I would imagine, could last longer.

Welcome to the luxurious RESIDENCES of REARGUARD ACTION

This gated community is strategically located on University Avenue with a commanding view of the surrounding terrain.

Each suite comes complete with two fully operational 19th century wheel-mounted cannons, and a month's supply of live ammunition. Should the Clewes Brigade attempt to erect sleek neo-Modernist towers within half a mile of the RESIDENCES of REARGUARD ACTION your building's military personnel will take immediate action.
