Deconstruction Rather Than Demolition

Today’s blog post feature the above photos from At The Rainbow showing the deconstruction that is part of the restoration work . The main picture shows the slow process of lowering the roof of the burned section, attempting a controlled collapse, so that no one gets hurt and nothing important gets damaged.

Elementary and advanced physics, both conscious and sub-conscious, accompany every move. When and where will this section go/move when we make this cut, and will we be able to safely avoid any of the falling debris?

This section of the building may have been destroyed in the fire, but there is also a lot of materials which are still usable if properly removed, cleaned and stored until further use.
