    Farwell Avenue mess.
    What’s the difference in meaning between deconstruction and demolition?

    “Deconstruction, unlike demolition, seeks to divert and reclaim as much of the building as possible from the landfill. Sidewalk architects have been able to observe element after element disappear from the building, essentially watching the construction process happen in reverse. Ceiling tiles disappear one day, then glass windows the next. A wrecking ball would be faster, but far worse for the environment.”
