Analysis of Materials in Guild House
The drawings below show the carbon and energy costs of demolishing Guild House, a fate at which the building is at risk.
Exact material quantities are unknown, the studio’s research has developed realistic quantitative ranges for each major material. These drawings are meant to be a tool capable of interrogating potential carbon and energy costs of demolition.
Carbon and energy values below were derived using edupack LCA analysis software.
