=== DEFINITION ===

Reversible Building is the design and construction strategy that has the ambition to realise buildings whose parts follow material loops and facilitate building alterations and support changing user needs.

Emphasising the ability of buildings and their components to return to an earlier state, this strategy strives for high resource productivity

It includes a spatial dimension, in which the building can be efficiently refurbished, as well as a technical dimension, wherein the building’s components can be disassembled and used again or deconstructed and recycled or biodegraded.

=== GUIDELINES ===

To bring the strategy ‘Reversible Building Design’ into practice, various principles, guidelines and techniques have already been proposed. Examples include, the generality of spaces, the adaptability and upgradability of assemblies, the durability and compatibility of building parts and the reversibility of their connections.

Moreover, as many of these design principles facilitate building transformations to changes in needs and requirements, Reversible Building is a synonym for design strategies such as Design for Change. However, whereas Reversible Building Design emphasises the establishment of material loops, Design for Change generally aspires to effective and efficient building transformations.

In BAMB, a Design Protocol for dynamic & circular building will be developed in order to enable different stakeholders in the construction value chain to implement Reversible Design strategies and approaches in construction and refurbishing activities. (For more information visit [https://www.bamb2020.eu/topics/reversible-building-design/ https://www.bamb2020.eu/topics/reversible-building-design/])

=== RELATED TERMS ===

Disassemble, Design for Disassembly: the act of removing components from an assembly resulting in pure material flows, facilitating their recycling or biodegradation. Design for Deconstruction is the design and construction strategy that enables the partial or total deconstruction of a building.

Deconstruct, Design for Deconstruction: the act of removing components from an assembly without damage, enabling their reuse. Design for Disassembly is the design and construction strategy that enables the partial or total disassembly of a building.

Design for Change: the design strategy based on the principle that our needs and requirements for the built environment will always change; its aim is to create buildings that support change effectively and efficiently.

Generic, Generality: a building or space that supports changing needs and requirements without physical alterations and the initiation of new material flows. Generality is the degree to which a building or space is generic.

Adaptable, Adaptability: an assembly of building materials that can be altered with a minimum of material flows initiated to support changes in needs and requirements. Adaptability is the degree to which an assembly is adaptable.

Upgradable, Upgradability: an assembly of building materials of which the condition and performance can be improved efficiently. Upgradability is the degree to which an assembly is upgradable.

Compatible, Compatibility: building parts that are designed in accordance to dimensional and possibly other standards, to ensure they are interchangeable or easy to combine.

Reversible connections: connections, i.e. physical relationship between building parts, that can be undone without damaging the parts they connect, e.g. bolts, screws, or soft lime mortars.

Circular building: a building designed according to Reversible Building principles.

Circular building products, ~ parts: building products or building parts designed according to Reversible Building principles.
