additions/renovations that rebuild old structure in new material.

i am looking for some examples of renovation/extension projects that rebuild an old form in a new way. eg with a new material.
the only one i can think of at the moment is edouard francois paris hotel project. but i am sure there most be more.

anyone remember similar approach projects

thanks, i should clarify, i mean that you re-build more or less the exact same volume of the old non-existing structure but with a different material than it was before.
the venturi example is interesting, not sure how close it stays the old bombed building and although its not normally my type of thing this time i really the play/joke with the columns.

not quite re-building the volume, but certainly tracing it.

not necessarily a new form so much as an intervention, but I think Scarpa's Castelvecchio is one of the best examples

i think zumthor is correct, however it seems haus gugalun in versam is more along the lines of what p2an was looking for...

You might want to visit the Gwathmey Siegel & Associates - Renovations Portfolio -- a number of the renovation projects undertaken by this firm over the years has dealt with aspects of this particular question.

dresden cathedral might not be exactly what you're looking for... the black stones are the ones they picked from the rubble... replaced exactly where they were. the clean ones are new...
