The
project proposes a new degree program and profession: the deconstruction
engineer. These professionals would consult throughout a building’s
lifecycle to ensure that adaptation and deconstruction occur in the most
effective way. During the first stages of planning a structure, the engineer
would offer design suggestions to anticipate efficient deconstruction and
at the end of a building’s life, the deconstruction engineer would
evaluate and assess safe reverse construction procedures for salvaging materials.
