Abstract
A luxury resort is as acknowledged for its amenities as for its reputation as being wasteful. Constructing a luxury resort and marina on an uninhabited island where issues such as getting rid of sewage and trash are magnified, can illustrate how appropriate planning influences whether a design is successful or not. "A place of responsible consumption, where in water is minimized, and buildings interact in balanced ways with natural environments and cycles, balancing the desire and activities of humankind within the integrity and carrying capacity of nature, and achieving a stable, long-term relationship within the limits of their local and global environment" (Barnett 10).
