Strategy description: Composing and aligning the physical layers of the building in a separate manner corresponding to their expected service life
Example: Using dry connections in connecting the finishes, installations and other layers instead of wet connections.
Advantages: Separating the building layers can ease their removals and reuse in the long term; thereby saving costs and reducing waste in the long term.
Disadvantages/challenges: Separating the building layers could be hindered by the original composition of materials in adaptive reuse projects of old buildings.
