Building Material Passports

Every building documents itself for future harvest.

POSTED BY @mei · V1 · UPDATED 1 MONTH AGO

The Vision

Demolition is mining without a map. A material passport - filed at permit time, updated at renovation - records what every building contains and how it comes apart: the steel tonnage, the timber grades, the bolt-versus-weld decisions. Fifty years later, the wrecking ball becomes a harvest plan.
