Demolition has started again on Paul Rudolph's Shoreline Apartments in Buffalo, New York after it was halted two years ago when a resident refused to move off the premises.
The demolition of the 1970s brutalist housing complex began on 23 January, after work was stopped in January 2018.
Locals took to social media to voice their concern and publish live footage of the destruction, including Buffalo photographer John Hickey, who posted a series on his Twitter account.

Rudolph's development is expected to be completely torn down by May, according to local news station WFBO, and a new 18-building complex with 166 units of housing will be built in its place.
