Micheal,
maybe you could describe these invisible structure 'zones' as ZONE 0 SPHERES
of Influence: Personal, Immediate extended family/friends, Neighbourhood,
Bioregional, Sate/National, Global. Etc broken into themes like finance,
political, intra-personal etc
The methodology of Zonation in design is about physical placement in terms
of proximity, convenience, access and schedules, and as such is a great tool
for achieving a number of pc principles (work where it counts, conserve
energy etc) in the design process.
The principles of pc/sustainability can applied in many ways, on many
levels. It's good to see this discussion, but I concur with others in that
we shouldn't confuse the terminology of established design tools, though
they can certainly be useful models to inspire thinking beyond the intended
application.
