Abstract

Architecture's footprint on the planet is not so easy to undo. However, some cases allow it. This research/action project looks for those concrete buildings that can be disassembled - instead of demolished - so that its parts can be recovered in search of future reuse. Thus, what once was pure waste can have a new life.
