_Permaculture Design Process

A permaculture-based analysis can offer a frank and grounded way of approaching any design problem, revealing tangible ways of making transitions towards ecological and systems-based thinking from the very start of the project.  Rather than designing elements in isolation, this design approach encourages links to be formed between products, services and systems.
Close observation of existing conditions is prioritised over starting with a clean-slate:
1. Asset audit: What do we have already?
2. Establishing \ reinforcing relationships between existing elements
3. What needs to be added?
4. In what manner do we add?
5. To what ends?
