remodèler

Remodèler is a French verb meaning to remodel, or to reshape and reform an existing object, space, or system by applying changes that produce a new configuration. The term emphasizes alteration of what already exists rather than construction from scratch. It is commonly used in design, architecture, urban planning, product development, and, in digital contexts, in 3D modeling or software workflows.

In practice, remodèler can apply to physical elements such as a building façade, interior layout, or landscape, as well as to non-physical concepts like processes, strategies, or models. Examples include remodèler a house to improve circulation while preserving its character, remodèler a product brief to meet new user needs, or remodèler a 3D model to better fit a rendering pipeline. The term is also used in a broader sense to indicate renewal or significant modification of a plan or project.

Etymology and usage notes: remodèler combines the prefix re- (again, anew) with the verb modèler (to shape or form a model). It is related to devenu nouns such as remodelage or remodélisation, and sometimes appears as a loanword from English remodel. In some contexts, more common French alternatives include réaménager, réorganiser, modifier, or reconfigurer, depending on the precise sense. The term generally functions as a transitive verb with standard -er conjugation patterns.
