Deconstructed (saving any reusable pieces), wrecking-balled, explosively demolished. Also sometimes abandoned to allow natural decay.

If you mean large buildings:if they are older brick structures they are usually knocked down by a crane with a wrecking ball. More modern structures are usually imploded(explosive charges placed in key areas create a "pancake effect" or progressive collapse.
