Design for me

Egocentric? Maybe it’s frowned upon. Designing for me, how bad it sounds. Shouldn’t we be designing for Life, for the Regeneration of Bioregions, for Community? And if we say “also”, it indicates our interdependence. It becomes visible that we are part of a larger system, and this in turn of several even larger fractals. We […]

Design Rationale

Oh, motivation, my motivation! Where are you? I can’t design without you! The design process involves both analyzing functions and elements to meet needs and drawing on creativity and inspiration. After all, it’s like a poem. You arrange words into a sentence (elements of the system), evoke images of the future (you work with beauty […]

The Design Process

The world is orderly. We might ask ourselves, “Even in the (apparent) chaos?” Wherever we look, there will be elements that are interconnected, whether it’s the Amazon Rainforest, New Delhi, the Taiga, the Great Barrier Reef, macroeconomics, or a Bayer laboratory.

Sectors in a Permaculture Design

When we begin designing our own permaculture system, it’s essential to “work with what’s there” and design for our well-being and resilience in connection with the place. To do this, we engage in deep observation of our immediate surroundings and document what we “see.” A design tool often used in permaculture is the SECTOR DIAGRAM, […]
