Why is it important?

The paper discusses the pros and cons and proposes a methodology which is environmentall friendly and respects the aesthetic value of old buildings

Perspectives

Although a lot of discussion has been given to the load of construction and its waste, still in many cases the decision is to demolish an old building. Understandably this is not always the best way. A discussion on these issues is raised and a methodology is proposed, however the subject still needs further investigation
