I think what Tim means is that the part they're adding into the wells in the center, which you can see in between the three protrusions going all the way up to the top, will use modern materials instead of the stone or whatever that the rest of the building uses.

Generally, these days preservationists want additions not to mimic materials of the past but to use modern materials to better highlight the old stuff. Feel free to debate whether that's the right approach or not.
