Task
This is our first project in a group of 5, to analyze on cities with the least sustainability to compare with a more sustainable city by using the three index which are People, Planet, and Profit along with the 4 colorized infrastructures. By analyzing each city based on the infrastructures, on the last phase we were to propose sustainable solutions on improving the worse city.
PROGRESS OUTCOME
For the first project, we are to analyze a developing country's' capital city which is Brisbane & Perth, Australia. Based on their sustainability and what sort of environmental, urban city issues they are facing and how did they try to solve. We also researched a 'developed' state which is Perth and what they did to create a sustainable city and how Brisbane can use the steps Perth solved or at least improve.

TAYLOR’S GRADUATE CAPABILITIES
This module taught me how to work in a group that I am not familiar with. Hence, indirectly it also help me with my communication skills. From this module, I also learnt more about sustainable design from the precedents that I have been researched throughout the whole semester. Lastly, I definitely able to apply some sustainable decision in terms of environment, social and also economy in the future regardless whether it is for Architectural Studio module or Professional practice.
