Designing buildings for disassembly, with the aim of recycling or reusing their materials, is gaining traction as a future way to reduce environmental impact. Builders can use materials such as wood and steel, which are easier to recycle or reuse than concrete and drywall, and opt for standardised connections that can be easily removed. This approach allows future residents to make changes more easily, such as removing wall panels or repurposing entire rooms. The concept aligns with a growing number of regulations promoting the "circular economy", where products and materials are reused and recycled as much as possible to limit environmental harm.
