Report on the Feasibility of Deconstruction : An Investigation of Deconstruction Activity in Four Cities

Deconstruction is an innovative tool intended to contribute to a community's revitalization. It is actually a new term to describe an old process -- the selective dismantling or removal of materials from buildings before or instead of demolition. This report provides a brief, but cogent, analysis of the feasibility of deconstruction. It has the potential to: (1) create job training & job opportunities for unskilled & unemployed workers; (2) foster the creation & expansion of small businesses to handle the salvaged material from deconstruction projects; & (3) benefit the environment by diverting valuable resources from crowded & expensive landfills into profitable uses.Neun, David is the author of 'Report on the Feasibility of Deconstruction : An Investigation of Deconstruction Activity in Four Cities', published 2001 under ISBN 9780756716431 and ISBN 0756716438.
