Due to the current economic climate in the United Kingdom the built environment and the construction industry has come to a stand still. This has affected buildings ranging in scales from Power Stations to abandoned garage plots. Developers are going into administration. High Street shops are closing down with the change in consumer spending. This change in the built environment is resulting in a large mass of vacant, ‘mothballed’ building stock. Existing buildings that require renovation are deemed to costly to work on at the current time and are therefore condemned to naturally decay and eventual ruin, until considered commercially viable or until their eventual destruction through natural influences.<span>  </span></span></p> <p class="BasicParagraph"><span> </span></p> <p class="BasicParagraph"><strong><span>Question:</span></strong><span> Can a responsive decay device be deployed and used as a performative tool for urban renewal?
