remodelages

Remodelages refers to the processes of altering the form, structure, or organization of a system through deliberate redesign. The term is the plural of the French remodelage and is used in some technical or historical contexts to describe renovation activities. In most English-language texts, remodelage is rendered as remodeling or renovation, with the plural remodelings or renovations.

In architecture and interior design, remodelages describe changes to the layout, exterior envelope, or internal spaces of a building. Projects may range from cosmetic updates to structural alterations, and typically involve planning, permitting, and coordination among design professionals, contractors, and clients.

In biology and medicine, remodeling denotes dynamic structural modification of tissues. Bone remodeling, for instance, balances resorption by osteoclasts and formation by osteoblasts to maintain bone integrity. Tissue remodeling also occurs during development, wound healing, and in disease, often involving changes to extracellular matrix and cell populations.

Other fields use the term to describe surface or matrix changes in materials and organisms, including remodeling of connective tissue, organ systems, or engineered materials during processing and use. In English, the broader and more familiar term remains remodeling.
