Some Working Definitions

Definitions I'm working with, although somewhat rough. They'll be better articulated as I move along.

Sustainability – encouraging a lifestyle whose practices benefit the “landbase” and maintain and or/improve our quality of life without harming the social and physical environment of those today and those in the future.

Unnatural Disaster – large scale tragedy that is a direct result of man’s apathy, power, and ignorance, or ambition

Anti-monument – unintentional monumentality or powerful monument/monumentality which is in opposition to local physical or social context

Un-monumental – that which attempts to monumentally articulate/memorialize a unique event with pedestrian means, articulation which is not equivalent in scale to that which it is attempting to articulate
