Abstract
This project will look at the role of industry in the rural landscape, the development of a promising new biotechnology initiative, the literature and case studies regarding eco-industrial parks, the specific principles of biophilic design (including techniques for protecting an endangered salamander), and a design for an eco-industrial park (in the Town of Riverhead, New York) that represents the applications of the examined principles, and an analysis of the design in terms of the three key characteristics.
