5 Sustainability

How can divergent interests be balanced in a project?

How can we find an equilibrium between building sustainably and building profitably? How can we design for urban informalities to exist within a rigid system based on resilient design?

SUSTAINABILITY

b: a state of adjustment between opposing or divergent influences or elements
2: a state of balance between opposing forces or actions that is either static (as in a body acted on by forces whose resultant is zero) or dynamic (as in a reversible chemical reaction when the rates of reaction in both directions are equal)
