Permaculture is synonymous with ecological and regenerative design, and features holistic approaches that integrate natural environmental processes with human-made systems to enhance both human and environmental health. Permaculture design is rooted in agriculture and horticulture, yet is far-reaching and interdisciplinary in nature, connecting city planning, ecology, architecture and technology. During this 11-session course, students will visit Pittsburgh’s premier examples of permaculture in action to get a sense of what is possible in urban sustainability. Students then will put their new knowledge into action by co-designing a space at Phipps Garden Center.
