(DFD) DESIGN FOR DISASSEMBLY FRAMEWORK: AN APPROACH TO ENHANCE THE DESIGN CONSTRUCTION PROCESS

Abstract

Design for Disassembly principles have become more integrated in architecture, by expressing materials, form, and structural assembly through their methods of connection and utilizing pure materials, with reuse and recycling capabilities. Therefore, the research focuses on investigating the importance of using the DFD concept to enhance the design construction process and to study how to include DFD principles in the design process’s phases. The research methodology applied the quantitative method in the main survey (questionnaire), to suggest the systematic framework of DFD by including its guidelines in different design stages according to its importance.
