Abstract

While natural environment and urban environment influence on each other, the interaction between human induced factors and nature environment add more vulnerability of the whole landscape. In order to study with these interactions, I developed the concept of ‘interface’. It is the territory where human system and natural system confront and be porous into each other. Being in the unique position between urban and nature, interface conveys the most frequent urban dynamism and natural process. Thus interface is a changing structure. In that case, on top of the concept of interface, how to add adaptivity is the most important issue because of the volatile forms of interface.
