Deconstruction Rather Than Demolition
by Daniel Ross
Arlington(May 8)- As mentioned in last week’s article, at the end of a building’s life, demolition generates large amounts of materials that can be reused or recycled, principally wood, concrete and other types of masonry, and drywall. Rather than demolish an entire building, consider "deconstructing" all or part of the structure. Deconstruction is the orderly dismantling building components for reusing or recycling.
Last week’s deconstruction of two buildings to make way for a convention center expansion is being cited as an example of how far a community can go to recycle construction materials. The city plans to use recycled construction materials to help build the convention center’s 150,000-square-meter new wing. Half the wing will be taken up by a new library hall, shopping areas and restaurants.
Robin Baily, construction manager for the city of Arlington, said that last week’s controlled deconstruction of the vacant office buildings at 253 and 326 Martin Street collectively produced more than 180 tons of debris, and was transported from the downtown site to regional recycling centers run by Youngearth Recycling, Inc. The remaining non-recyclable materials were safely disposed of in a landfill.
Yoon-sook Huh, president of the Citizen’s Coalition for Waste Reduction, which lobbied the city council to adopt the new policy, said the efficient use of resources is a fundamental tenet of green building construction. This means reducing, reusing, and recycling most if not all materials that remain after a construction or renovation project. Through careful planning, reusing and recycling of construction materials can actually be more economical than disposal.
What is suggested in the article?
选项
A、The article was published by the Citizen’s Coalition for Waste Reduction.
B、Yoon-sook Huh contributes to the newspaper regularly.
C、The newspaper company will be relocated to the convention center.
D、Daniel Ross previously dealt with a similar topic at the beginning of May.
答案
D
解析
报刊新闻的开头表明了是5月8日的新闻。从新闻内容开头的“上周谈到的”中可以看出在5月初已经报道过类似主题的新闻。
