“…Deconstruction or selective deconstruction or selective, systematic dismantling, also known as construction in reverse, is a strategy which, unlike mechanical demolition, aims to maximize the recovery of building parts when taking apart a building for future relocation and reuse and, consequently, to minimize construction waste (Bertino, 2021; Forghani et al , 2021; Marzouk and Elmaraghy, 2021; O’Grady et al , 2021; Bukunova and Bukunov, 2020; Jockwer et al , 2020; Kibert, 2016; Rios et al , 2015; Thomsen et al , 2011). The term deconstruction has been associated with the removal of demountable building parts to claim their residual value for reuse (Cambier et al , 2021; Akinade et al , 2020) and to building disassembly for material, element or component reuse (Guerra and Leite, 2021; van den Berg et al , 2021; Akinade et al , 2015).…”
