Rewind 005 | Saviana Parodi and Luca Puri | PERMACULTURE DESIGN (How we can make our environments healthier and more efficient by imitating ecosystems)

Published: Aug. 27, 2020, 7:14 a.m.

b'While introducing their theoretical and practical course, Saviana Parodi and Luca Puri explain the central aspects of permaculture design. This empirical science is based on four fundamental actions: observing, thinking, designing and acting. First of all, permaculture practice should be addressed to ourselves and then to the external environment, creating a constant connection between mindscape and landscape. The search for a new balance, inspired by the natural models, becomes a way of conceiving the world and our life within world as a "permanent human culture" shaped on ethical principles such as care of others, self-care, care of the Earth as a living organism and sharing surplus. In this perspective, permacultural design can be applied to every aspect of everyday life and, as Annie Ratti states, it is present in the values of the Foundation, whose mission is \\u201cto open up to the territory, to be sensitive to the contemporary and to contemporary practices".\\n\\n09.11.2016, Archive Fondazione Antonio Ratti\\nLanguage: Italian'
