About event
Designing sustainable systems requires a deep understanding of the underlying concepts and themes that guide permaculture thinking. This week, we explore the core principles of ecological design, focusing on how we can harmonize human activity with natural systems. By recognizing energy flows, efficient use of resources, and the interconnectedness of all elements, we can create resilient and regenerative landscapes that sustain life for generations.
Key Topics:
🌍 Holistic System Thinking – Designing for sustainability by seeing the bigger picture🔄 Energy Efficiency & Resource Use – Maximizing productivity while minimizing waste🏡 Zoning & Sector Planning – Placing elements in the right location for optimal function🌊 Working with Natural Processes – Understanding how ecosystems self-regulate and how to integrate design into these cycles📏 The Role of Scale in Design – Designing small and scaling up while maintaining balance
Bill Mollison emphasized that good design is not about control—it’s about working with nature to create systems that are abundant, self-regulating, and energy-efficient. By applying these core concepts and themes, we can develop landscapes and communities that are both productive and sustainable.
