Design for Sustainability! Tropical Green Home Course

[Kelsy Raap]

What: Design and Build a Green Home and Garden in the Tropics

Where: Paraiso, Costa Rica

When: March 3 -16, 2007

This course focuses on reducing the housing footprint to the lowest
possible level while still providing comfort and beauty as we build a
model "jungle bungalow". This prototype structure is part of a "green"
community along the Pacific Coast in Guanacaste Costa Rica.

Ecological designers, applied agricultural ecologists, and
entrepreneurs join together to teach a holistic approach to designing
and building a home and fostering a lifestyle with minimal impact,
while creating sustainable economic opportunity.

This is the ideal experience for those interested in an ecological
approach to creating a second or vacation home or for those studying
conservation development, permaculture or agroforestry. For

insitution's website at www.ElCentroVerde.org (live after 11/6).

Best,
