Design for Deconstruction (DfD) is an innovative approach that redefines the building lifecycle by integrating sustainable strategies for material reuse and waste reduction. This course examines the principles of DfD, including modular design, material selection, and adaptable systems, to create structures that are easy to deconstruct and repurpose. Participants will explore how DfD contributes to environmental, social, and economic sustainability while aligning with circular economy principles.

Through real-world examples and tools like BIM, this course provides actionable insights into implementing DfD across design and construction phases.

Key topics include:

• General principles and tools for DfD implementation.
• Economic and environmental benefits of reusable materials.
• Overcoming barriers to adopting deconstruction strategies.
