This is mainly what I do in life. Draw shapes.
I need a larger scanner bed because the drawings are bigger than this.
A "deep dive" into a soon-to-disappear retail landmark. The first and original anchor store at the Beloit Plaza. Walked around on a cold day last week with a too-long lens (effective 120-300mm) focused on demolition of the unique architecture that made up most (all?) Kohl's Grocery stores in the 60's.
The arched design meant there are no interior beams or supporting columns. This results in an open floor plan, with no obstructions. It'd make a near-perfect venue for concerts and theater, but in this location, and with a population less-than 50,000, the Greater Beloit area would be hard pressed to make the economics work for such a venue.
As I understand it, this will be torn down and replaced with a new building housing the Kids First Beloit Lincoln Academy public charter school.

My newly destroyed pair of mens sweatpants. Because without the destuction....they would be 7 inches too long.

This is a common scene at a construction site ... one woman works with a handheld pickaxe while another "cleans up" the uncleanable dirt with a broom.
The entire second floor of the library building had to be cleared out. Bookshelf ranges were dismantled, and library collections, furniture, equipment, and supplies were either moved upstairs, put into storage, or put to other uses.
When the city of La Center needed to remove a dilapidated house on city property, they chose to deconstruct, rather than demolish.
La Center recently purchased a lot with a vacated house slated for removal and has contracted with DeConstruction Services for this project. Says Public Works Director, Jeff Sarvis, “The use of deconstruction to remove houses is another step toward reducing waste, promoting reuse and recycling, and keeping it out of our landfills, which is an essential component of sustainable, green building.”
Working with DeConstruction Services—a project of the non-profit organization The ReBuilding Center—La Center will keep 6000 square feet of reusable building materials from the landfill. The environmental savings of deconstruction are the equivalent of preserving 20 mature trees in the forest, taking 1.7 cars off the road in the reduction of greenhouse gas, and saving 1440 gallons of clean drinking water.

Christchurch Basilica mid deconstruction, will be taken apart stone by stone and rebuilt sometime later in a more quake friendly fashion. The dome was planned to be removed in one piece but the June 13th quake ended that option.
