A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
This chapter discusses some of the concepts and ideas that have been proposed that help facilitate building material and component reuse and that break down some of the barriers. Concepts such as salvageability, secondary use, material flow analysis and urban mining all help to establish a theoretical base for processes that enable buildings to be created using components and materials that have had a previous use. Urban metabolism principles have been employed to analyse the interrelations between environmental, sociological and economic factors of cities to understand the flow of resources through a city, as well as the relationships between urban areas and their hinterlands. The deconstruction (DfD) concept affects the design of all material levels that are accounted for by the technical composition of buildings. In 2005 McDonough and Braungart Design Chemistry (MBDC) launched Cradle to Cradle (C2C), a conceptual framework for assessing and certifying the impact of products, including building components.
