“…Furthermore, items produced can be used again for similar functions via remanufacturing. RL is a relatively settled field in manufacturing, whereas its uptake in the construction industry is limited (Kibert, 2012;Leigh & Patterson, 2006;Schultmann & Sunke, 2007). In the construction industry, RL should be observed in that the knowledge and experience in the recovery of raw materials and construction products should be considered in the process of design and construction.…”

Purpose: The objectives of this study are to elaborate on the concepts, dimensions and elements of green supply chain management (GSCM) and develop a framework of GSCM implementation for the construction industryDesign/methodology/approach: This paper presents the findings from a study where experts were asked to contribute their opinions related to GSCM in the construction industry. To develop the model, the Delphi method was used. The objective of this method is to achieve the most reliable consensus in a group of expertsFindings: The research result is a developed framework for GSCM in the construction industry comprising five concepts, 22 dimensions, and 82 elements.Research limitations/implications: The limitation of this research is that its output was the discovered elements, but it did not cover the implementation of this model in construction projects, so some elements may be missing.Practical implications: The output of the research could give new perspective to manage the construction project based on Green Supply Chain Method.Social implications: The stakeholder of the construction project has to learn with this concept (Green Supply Chain) in order to improve construction’s project performance.Originality/value: The originality of this research is that it is a new theme in the area of the construction supply chain. Previous research merely considered the concept of GSCM in construction. Therefore, this research develops an assessment model for performance indicators of GSCM implementation in construction projects.

“…For the construction industry, Nunes et al (2009, p.3717) defined RL as "how the area of business logistics plans, operates and controls the flow of logistics information corresponding to the return of post-sale and post-consumption of the goods to the productive cycle through reverse distribution channels, adding value of various types to them: economic, ecological, legal, logistical, corporate image, etc.". (Addis, 2006c;Leigh & Patterson, 2006;Aidonis et al, 2008;Denhart, 2010) Drivers for adoption of RL…”

“…According to Addis (2006a) and Leigh and Patterson (2006), establishing a partnership between all the parties involving RL is necessary to assure its success. It was also asserted by Carter and Ellram (1998) that to overcome uncertainties, players in RL should increase the level of coordination with their main suppliers.…”

This paper aims to investigate and analyse the perceptions of South Australian construction practitioners on drivers associated with adoption of reverse logistics (RL). To this end, semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight practitioners to collect data and the interview transcripts were analysed using the NVivo (version 10) software package. The study takes advantage of integration of qualitative and quantitative analysis of interview transcripts to rank the drivers on the basis of their relative importance. Results suggested that factors associated with regulations and obligations could act as the most important drivers to promote adoption of RL. The drivers associated with financial gains were identified as the second important category of drivers in RL adoption. Furthermore, environmental concerns were regarded as "slightly important" for practitioners in the South Australian construction context. The study concludes with presenting a model mapping the factors affecting the level of influence of drivers in construction projects in South Australia (SA).

“…Partial demolition of a building can take place as a process of preservation, and in some cases where changes to the built fabric are regular, the waste generated has been shown actually to exceed that associated with a well-timed demolition and new construction (Thomsen et al, 2011). Mechanical demolition is generally incompatible with either the conservation or recycling of building materials, however this is dependent on the nature and condition of the building (Leigh and Patterson, 2006).…”

“…Where demolition is an undifferentiated process of compressing the mass of a building into trucks, depositing it as landfill, deconstruction is a controlled process that requires careful planning, or more fundamentally, an element of design. The conservation of natural resources is a direct outcome of this process, but its benefits require skills not typically found within demolition teams (Leigh and Patterson, 2006).…”

Deconstructing the Children’s Art Pavilion

This paper discusses the design, construction and eventual deconstruction of the Children's Art Pavilion at the Newcastle Region Art Gallery in Australia. As a space for children to experiment with art, the Pavilion metaphorically engaged the verandah as a space that has historically (albeit minimally) mediated the zone where inside and outside meet. Its process of deconstruction referenced the work of Gordon Matta-Clark, and was testament to how the architectural design process continues through this phase, albeit uninhibited by the need to create a functioning object. In the time leading up to its deconstruction, the Pavilion became perfectly functionless, while its form and architectural content remained critically intact. Cutting into its surface, as a continuation of the design process, framed the void. Security was replaced with instability, not just physically but emotionally. At this point, the ground became cliff, or broke against the surf, and indeterminacy destroyed the purpose of even the most elementary architectural space. The new construction immediately suggested the possibilities of another architecture. As an intriguing social and architectural experiment, undergone by a building that could have quietly been loaded into a bin within a few hours, this project illuminated the social responsibility invested within architecture.
