description | Every renovation project makes use of embodied energy, increasing the energy and material footprint of a building in the short term. But by reusing the longer-lasting layer of structure, renovations can lower the environmental cost of architecture in the long term: a building can be retrofitted with energy-efficient solutions and more socially effective spaces. Felipe Alarcón's renovation demonstrates this principle, improving the energy performance of the house while allowing the architect to rethink its forms of domesticity, relationship to the site and its neighborhood. |
