Why add an upper-floor??

On the Ben Yehuda Street no. 8 you find a beautiful building, designed in the Eclectic-style in 1926 by Joseph Berlin. The building was in a bad state and restored (real nice) in 1998…but then the restoration/renovation architect got a black-out!! He added a glass-upper floor on this historic building, totally destroying the design of Joseph Berlin. I can’t understand this urge from some of the Israeli restoration ‘architects’ to add upper glass-floors or glass-curtain walls on top of historical buildings. Did they ever heard (or – preferably – learned) about the word aesthetic??
