An external buttress or exoskeleton is chosen as a retrofit when

  • A.the building is so light that no strengthening of the interior is possible at all
  • B.the architectural appearance of the building is of no consequence to its owner
  • C.the building must stay in use during the works
  • D.the existing foundations are known to have no spare capacity whatsoever

Answer: C

Correct answer: the building must stay in use during the works

An exoskeleton is built outside the envelope, so the interior is scarcely touched and the occupants remain in place. That is its principal justification, and it is bought at the cost of appearance and of new foundations outside the existing footprint.
