Abstract

Sustainability, construction, environment, materials, recycling, demolition, reuse, waste management, life cycle, and renewal are keywords that have become part of the architectural project. All of them reflect the process of transition in the construction industry from a concept of linear economy to a circular one. The demolition process usually has a direct correlation with the construction sector. This circumstance has gained relevance in recent decades, in which the development of new infrastructure and the construction of new housing implied a significant increase in construction and demolition waste. While there are still barriers to overcome in design for the deconstruction and reuse of reclaimed materials and products, there are sound economic reasons for using demolition as an economic resource. Deconstruction as a methodological approach can bring benefit from the point of view of public policies, namely those that may be related to climate change mitigation by enhancing minimize construction waste, aiding the local economy, avoiding new materials and retaining the cultural value of existing materials, reduce transport cost, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reduce demand on natural and virgin resources.
