Q

was one of the strategies of sustainability applicable across many of the sustainable scales. This was possible partly because of the connection between sustainability and biology. Inspired through biology, developed as an interpretation of the landscape through science and the art of exemplifying natures forms and processes in architecture and urban design.

Q

Between place context supported a new kind of architecture, one that had systematic fabric oriented qualities. Site for infrastructure architecture tended to be situated circumferentially around dense urban centres and between defined suburban residential districts. These environments were typically linear, complex, often chaotic, and spatially fragmented with multiple land uses.

Q

is both the study of cities and the practices to build them urbanism that focus on promoting their long term viability by reducing consumption, waste and harmful impacts on people and place while enhancing the overall well-being of both people and place.
