Renovation Name: The Rookery Location: Chicago, USA Designer: T. Gunny Harboe
Renovation is the process of renewing and updating a building. The function will remain the same and the structure is generally untouched, but the manner in which the building is used will be brought up to date. It is usually the services that require attention, especially the heating and sanitary systems. A good example of refurbishment is a large mansion that will be adapted for twenty-first-century living but not substantially changed. The renovation of the court lobby of the Rookery was a complex process of balancing the conservation of the original 1888 building with several previous renovations of the building and the needs of the present users. The narrative of the journey through the eleven-story, cast-iron frame masonry and terracotta office block by original architects, Burnham & Root, had been
compromised by the progressive alterations, as had the natural light through the glass roof and the vertical circulation. The 1905 renovation by Frank Lloyd Wright continued the spatial journey through the building and clad the cast-iron columns with white marble. Gunny Harboe was anxious to embrace this work, while erasing the subsequent alterations, so a datum of 1910 was set. The original circulation route was re-established, the entrance vestibule was restored to Wright’s design, and Burnham & Root’s original marble mosaic floor was rebuilt. Most importantly, a new glazed roof was built above the original, which eliminated any problems of water ingress and reinstated the former brilliantly lit courtyard. This whole process adapted the building for twenty-first-century expectations and use.
