The renovation of buildings past their prime can no longer be
regarded as a necessary evil that costs money and causes
inconvenience. Increasingly, it is being acknowledged that to
renovate a building and its facade (or 'envelope') can has
considerable advantages. Not only does it improve the quality of
life and the performance, it can save energy and increase the
building's market value. This makes renovation an interesting
proposition for owners, users and architects alike. The facade
research group at Delft University of Technology, working with the
Dutch facade builders' association VMRG, carried out a three-year
research project that yielded a number of basic requests,
strategies and practical examples which it then developed together
with several enlightened companies. "Reimagining the Envelope"
reports on this exchange of ideas between science and practice. The
result is a variety of strategies for renovating the envelope and
examples of successful projects. It also presents a number of
far-reaching design ideas.
