Abstract

Destructive technology creates growth in entirely new industries by introducing products and services that are more convenient and economically efficient. Destructive technology often engages the workforce by allowing technological development of individuals to become competitive in the industrial labor market. It introduces a revolutionary change in the conduct of industrial processes. The importance of finding a scientific base to employ the innovation of destructive technology in architecture has started through the adoption of the mining mechanism in the industry with its equivalent concept of impact in architecture as a strategy in innovation and not be the end of the process of architectural innovation through its ability to continue and shorten time. The comparison between three types of the materials used in the architectural production of building with materials (bricks, blocks, and quick concrete walls) is through finding an equation or model that depends on the following indicators: efficiency, effectiveness, adaptation, and continuity of these materials in the architectural production according to the time periods of production. The present study aims to adopt Mining strategy in discovering concrete walls as a disruptive technological innovation for both of the previous two types.
