German term

Fassade neu setzen

German to English Tech/Engineering Architecture
Vereinzelt werden die Fassaden künftig neu gesetzt und erhalten eine durch Perforation des Mauerverbands aufgelockerte Lochfassade.

Does "neu setzen" means something like "remodel"?

Thanks.

Hello Jackie, What did the old façade look like? Why is it being refurbished and how should it look now? Are the new perforated panels for thermal insulation or or aesthetic aspects??

rebuild the facade

Segments of the facade are being redone where needed...

Compare with this:
“The project was supposed to retain the facade at the second floor and rebuild the facade at the third floor,” Strazzabosco said. “Non-historic siding was to be replaced, along with historically appropriate windows and a new cornice, based on historic photos.” https://blockclubchicago.org/2021/02/02/after-city-stops-imp...

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks to everyone for their input. The building in question is an arts centre made of brick, and as far as I can tell they are just changing the appearance of the facade in places by perforating it, etc., so I think "rebuild" comes closest here."

re-lay the facade

I think this should be appropriate...

reset facade

Since a facade is essentially something that goes on top of something else for aesthetic purposes, this seems to refer to when you re-set it so that the bond is strong again and it doesn't fall off. When you do that you can also introduce some perforations or other improvements.

building // erecting // constructing a new facade

This is more than mere 'remodeling'.
See "Mauer setzen":
Der Erdaushub und das Anlegen eines stabilen Fundaments sind die Grundlage für jede stabile Mauer. Ausschlaggebend für das sichtbare Gesamtergebnis ist allerdings, wie beim Setzen der Mauer vorgegangen wurde. Fugenverläufe und gleichmäßige Oberflächen hängen genauso davon ab wie gewollte Unregelmäßigkeit einer natürlichen Optik.

Regarding the concept of what a facade actually is, please see good old Wiki:

restore/replace the façade

acc. the amount of work and construction.

In some cases, the façades will be restored/replaced in the future and given a perforated façade broken up by perforation of the wall bond.

give the façade a makeover (redo the façade)

'Rebuild' sounds a bit drastic!

Give the facade a makeover
We’re not saying that you should redo your facade completely...

"just changing the appearance" ≠ rebuilding
But never mind...

Replace the exterior finish

Facade isn't used all that often. The term "(house) exterior" is normally used in the UK.
