water and materials, as they flow from
nature through the constructed
environment and back to nature; |
|
|
| |
| |
|
2.
|
The dynamics of urban systems
– exploring ecological models for
integrating and transforming urban
systems at local, regional, and global
scales; and |
|
|
| |
| |
|
3.
|
Planning and design paradigms
– developing and testing new methods and
tools for integrated design,
