Thread: Would that be possible?

Recently stumbled upon one of my favorite Series when I was a kid, Gargoyles. Absolutely loved it, but more importantly loved one specific aspect of the show,
which seemed unreal back then. Maybe still today, but in times of cities like Dubai recreating the world and projects alike, anything seems to be possible I guess.

Even though I highly doubt anyone will take this serious, I just wanted to to know if and especially how that could be done?
Would it even be possible to dismantle and rebuild the castle?

I think it can be done. Houses have been disassembled in one place and then re-build in another place before.

Dont really know about Castles though, but since its basically just built brick by brick, it should be possible to take it down from top to bottom and re-build it somewhere else.

I'll ask my dad, he knows such things as an architect.....

of course it is. Where there is a will there is a way. This has been done before, but you might as well start fresh and improve it!

Any links/images?

Yes it can be done. I remeber reading about a castle that was brought from Europe to the USA. Cant find a reference on it now. Also here in Spain, when old historic buldings are rebuilt, or a facade is torn down, it can be moved somewhere else. They number the stones and then just reassemble at another location. I have seen this done several times.

LAKE HAVASU CITY, ARIZONA—
In 1962, London Bridge was falling down. Built in 1831, the bridge couldn't handle the ever-increasing flow of traffic across the Thames River. The British government decided to put the bridge up for sale, and Robert McCulloch, Founder of Lake Havasu City, Arizona, and Chairman of McCulloch Oil Corporation, submitted the winning bid of $2,460,000.
The bridge was dismantled, and each stone was numbered. Everything was shipped 10,000 miles to Long Beach, California, and then trucked to Lake Havasu City. Reconstruction began on September 23, 1968, with a ceremony including the Lord Mayor of London, who laid the cornerstone. On October 10, 1971, the bridge was dedicated.

With enough time and money anything is possible....

Rumour/Urban myth has it that Mr McCulloch was under the impression that London Bridge was this...


London Icon, Tower Bridge

What he actually bought was this, London Bridge.... Meh
