We've been seeing a cool, but not necessarily new, trend where architects take old buildings and wrap them up in shiny new skins to rejuvenate them. The treatment, which is exactly the tack that CrystalZoo took when renovating this old school building in Novelda, Spain, saves a ton of material since it builds upon an existing structure - with an added bonus that the result usually has a sci-fi "one building swallowed another" type of look. Called Casal de la Juventud de Novelda, the school has a new outer membrane that optimizes its efficiency while pops of saturated color in the windows infuse it with vibrancy.
