Introduction

This collection of works on sustainable architecture and urbanism is grouped into works of : 1. pedagogy or history and theory;

2. poetics or examples;

3. contours or connections; and

4. interstitials or transitions.

Contours are "the individual features or the order or arrangement of features of anything having a discernible and unusual complex structure- contours of melody or plan, poetry is a discovery of contours and connections." Intersrtitials are "a solid structure where non-matter occupies holes between atoms in a crystal lattice... transitional (urban) area (as between industry and residential) that may be characterised by a degree of cultural isolation."
