Building heritage renovation represents a key challenge in the AEC sector, as it requires a balance between conservation concerns and the need for functional, technological, and structural optimization. In this context, Design for Disassembly (DfD) represents an effective approach for designing reversible renovation interventions that ensure the material integrity of the building. Following a critical review of the state of the art on demountable connections for timber structures, several solutions have been identified for both new construction and renovation. These solutions facilitate the adaptability and reuse of components, transforming the building into a dynamic, upgradeable entity over time.
