Abstract
Buildings are representing parallel resources in terms of identity capital, energy capital
and economical capital. In post-industrial urbanity it is relevant to develop strategies
which include all those aspects in order to manage urban transformation processes with a minimal loss of identity, energy and economic resources. Important tasks related to such strategies are the reuse of remaining production buildings of industrialism but also the need for quality solutions for energy saving refurbishment purposes. To optimize value in the processes of transformation, designers and public administration might extend their conception of resources becoming conscious that:
1. Energy resources are embedded in materials and building processes
2. Identity resources exist detached and independent from authorship, high culture
traditions and historical events.
3. Economical resources are not only a conditioning framework but also an instrument of managing building transformation.
The paper suggests on the basis of three examples that building preservation strategies might converge with climate preserving strategies, employing economical incentives, resulting in a sustainable condition of perpetual transformation and a
dynamic view on preservation.
