Chapter Two
The issue is not whether we will have development but rather what that development
will be. What construction methods will we employ? What materials will we use? How
will the form of our designs reflect the more thoughtful and less harmful function of our
projects? The impacts and issues discussed in Chap. 1 suggest that a move toward sustainable development is not only desirable but quite necessary. A plan that is concerned
with sustainability cannot consider the building and the site as separate elements because
they interact in important ways. This interaction is the concern of this chapter.
