D-Build is creating an information rich interactive history of building deconstruction, where the reclaimed materials, buildings, people, and businesses are all equally important players in the story. D-Build.org acts as the central hub, where these connections are drawn, creating a vast intertwined network of information, along with a marketplace for users to exchange reclaimed materials, finished products made of these materials, as well as ideas and services. Users are encouraged to populate the network with information, from personal stories to historic records, preserving the past of buildings while creating a future for the materials.
D-Build, which will be both a blog and an online marketplace that sells material from dismantled houses and the products made from them, while illuminating some of the material's cultural history.
This will be done by carefully cataloging a house as it is dismantled, taking note of historical information alongside dimensional data, which will be uploaded to a central database. Additionally, each home will be scanned, preserving buildings that might otherwise have no blueprints or other documented history. Then, all of this information will be linked to the online marketplace, so buyers can access an information-rich history of the materials they are browsing.
