The balance between man’s development needs and the environment’s potential to serve or provide in those needs was explored through the design of a biomimicry park which was mandated to exist off-grid. Social consideration, environmental responsibility and economic equitability were aspects theoretically explored, resulting in the subsequent design of an urban masterplan for the park, as well as a Welcome and Resource Centre that harnessed sustainable building methods, recycling and reuse of materials, and environmental restoration whereby technical building systems which were appropriate to the buildings' contextual and pragmatic requirements were designed with.
