To honor the blood, sweat and two-by-fours put into retail renovations, VM+SD created the Retail Renovation Competition, which, now in its third year, takes an exclusive look at retailers’ makeover processes. Retail Renovation is an illuminating compilation of projects from the 2006 and 2007 competitions. This new retail design title from the publisher of Stores and Retail Spaces and Visual Merchandising is packed with “before/during/ after” photos from entries around the world and across the retail spectrum. Captions detailing each phase of the makeovers provide insight into the designers’ goals and methods.
