    Description
    Explores methods of permaculture design that are informed by the concept of working with nature. Different from sustainable landscape design which preserves habitat and ecology, Permaculture design is restorative to habitat and ecology. Students will explore ecological design, ecological engineering, environmental design, construction and integrated water resources management that develops sustainable architecture, regenerative and self-maintained habitat and agricultural systems modeled from natural ecosystems. Field trips may be required to fulfill the objectives of this course.
