| Short description: |
This bulletin considers the impact of design for deconstruction on the environment and how future generations can avoid problematic brownfield sites.
|
| Long description: |
Is it possible to reduce the number of future brownfield sites by altering building
design? And therefore, in doing so, is it possible to develop a built environment
that aims to return land to its previous undeveloped state? At the core of the
Design for Deconstruction (DfD) philosophy are both these objectives and many
more. In recent years the acceptance of DfD has shifted from dismissal of the
notion to the inclusion and demonstration of demountability on site.
Demountable warehouses that yield reusable components are here (Barratt
2007), the next step is applying demountable construction to run-of-the-mill
structures within the hearts of UK cities. This bulletin discusses how this may be
achieved and the benefits that can be derived from designing buildings so that
they can provide a legacy of components suitable for reuse for future
generations whilst treading lightly on the ground.
