ArchitectureWeek Description
Salvaging parts of unwanted houses rather than demolishing them is the "green" art of unbuilding, or deconstruction. This book contains details on construction techniques for houses both old and contemporary and explains methods used to determine their salvagability. It describes a variety of projects, from dismantling a single wall to completely deconstructing an entire house, while saving the reusable parts and pieces for another building or for another purpose.
