The underlying needs, requirements and external influences relating to the origin of the building are changing. Buildings lose their original purpose and become obsolete.
Simple structures such as barns scattered around the rural landscape are being taken back by nature as the years go by. The wind blows away the roof, the building is struck by lightning or the structure collapses under heavy snow. What happens to traditional semi-detached houses in
a village that were conceived for an extended farming family that has not existed in this form for a long time? What about the old blacksmith in town when there are no more horses to be shod? When will existing buildings be replaced by new ones, and when should they be maintained, preserved, integrated, upgraded, transformed or extended?
The cultural significance of existing buildings, the properties of material and construction, spatial qualities and presence in the rural or urban context lead to evaluations and approaches regarding the starting point and depth of the intervention, considerations on adding or subtracting layers, and the continuity, overlapping or redesign of constructional and spatial structures.
