Facadism

When coring is called in building the partial demolition of an existing building, which will receive only the facade in the rule. Gutting are mainly performed when the facade of a building is to be retained, but the underlying structure is in disrepair or is otherwise no more ( profitable) can be used. A modern building is the historic facade then after gutting built, sometimes united to it several originally separate buildings into a larger unit. Gutting are performed by professional demolition company specialized or construction companies.

When coring is a massive structural intervention, which does not stop even before structural elements. The difference from the demolition of a building is that in the coring the appearance is maintained. On the other hand often lost original design features and functions, including the wall fixed equipment such as interior doors, floor coverings or stucco work and paintings is mostly destroyed. A coring is expensive because most all parts of the building must be supported artificially during construction. It is therefore practically applied only to listed and intensively used buildings or characteristic of the local image structures ( building complex ).

This way of dealing with historic buildings is very controversial, issues of historic preservation, urban image maintenance and commercial interests of investors should be carefully considered. Therefore, a coring is considered a compromise between preservation and demolition. In the Anglo-American one speaks critically of Facadism, a negatively occupied concept, as does the original attached to the term facade suffix -ism clearly.

Gutting as demolition preparation

Gutting also be carried out in connection with demolition work. Mostly this applies to newer, by pollutants such as asbestos contaminated buildings that are to be blown up. In such cases, all asbestos-containing components, including floors, walls and ceilings, but also contaminated elements of the structure (for example, with sprayed asbestos -clad columns) removed to keep on blowing up the emissions as low as possible with harmful dusts. A well-known example of this termination method is the 2004 exploded skyscraper, nicknamed "Long Oskar " in Hagen.
