It also focused on the implementation of interdislipinary and collaborative approaches to fragmented environments; calling for cooperative action from urban planners, ecologists, social scientists, architects, landscape architects, etc. Moreover it grounded these visions into a pragmatised stratedgy through looking at transition approaches, how do we materially augment these transformations of landscapes. Precedents were also an important factor that fostered realistic application of ideas. This conference achieved networking, knowledge sharing, and innovation in education.

This institution was established in 1905 by the Buckman Act. The Florida Board of Control chose a 512-acre tract in Gainesville as the site of the new university, and architect William Edwards was recruited to lay out a campus plan. His design consisted of two arcing roads that stretched east to west, creating three areas of development. The buildings were placed at right angles, with principal structures arranged around a central green.
