Class 2.7 of the PDC+++ : Class 2.7 of the PDC+++ How do we apply the fundamental principles to Permaculture Design?
It is easy to design if we are clear about the design principles, but much more difficult to really understand & integrate these principles in our practice.
In this class we go into more depth about the design principles, with lots of examples of each in order to understand them better.

Slide 4 : "Principles"
sometimes gets confused
with "Values" What is the difference? Principles - more objective
(not our choice, more 'what
there is - collective experience) Values - more subjective
(we choose them: they can
be principles or not) & the
Criteria?

Slide 6 : PRINCIPLES Ecology
taken from the natural sciences: biology, chemistry, physics, etc. Attitude
from our experience, philosophy, psichology, common sense, etc. Design
from engineering, technical design architecture, IT, cybernetics, etc. M1 M3 M2
Slide 7 : Stacking - in space, stacking functions, stacking in time
(up-downs) MiniMax Yield is limited
only by Imagination 80% of life's satisfaction comes from meaningful relationships
Brian Tracy Ups&Downs One Element fulfills
multiple Functions One Function supported
by many Elements Niches Relative Location Reduce
Consumption Design
from engineering, technical design architecture, IT, cybernetics, etc.
Slide 8 : Plan in Zones & Sectors - is also a design technique > M2.9 Design
from engineering, technical design architecture, IT, cybernetics, etc.
Slide 9 : Ups&Downs - take into account, there are all types Plagues of ..
grasshoppers, etc. Pollution =

can't process www.airBnB.com Fruit Plan well

Slide 10 : Relative Location - the optimal situation for each element Mini-Max Yield limited only
by the imagination Reduce
Consumption Plan in Zones
& Sectors Design
from engineering, technical design architecture, IT, cybernetics, etc. One Element fulfills
multiple Functions

by the imagination One elemento
multiple functions Reduce
Consumption Appropiate Technology Design
from engineering, technical design architecture, IT, cybernetics, etc.
Slide 13 :
Slide 14 : Each Element - Many Functions - all to be as multi-functional as possible Analysis of elements - to find all its needs & functions MiniMax Relative Location Reduce
Consumption Design
from engineering, technical design architecture, IT, cybernetics, etc.

Care of Earth Analisis of elements -

Slide 17 : Each Function-multiple Elements - esp. important functions! Security ALWAYS have a
Plan B, C, D... Design
from engineering, technical design architecture, IT, cybernetics, etc.
Slide 18 : Appropiate Technology - in M4 .. lots on this! Design

Slide 21 : ??? excercise - ¡Integrate!
maximize the +
minimize the - + 3 types of principles
+ more concrete (detail)
+ space for own creativity
+ tree (memorize, etc.)
+ more graphical
- not 'official' (book?)
- not so attractive 'packaged'
- infantile appearance? Everything Evolves + the colours!
+ less principles
+ good graphic design
+ book accompanies
+ emphasis on EMERGY
- not so much detail
- linear
- a bit abstract
- icons also (abstract)
Slide 22 : ¿How can we
illustrate
the principles
so that they can be
"read"
in shapes? graphic design! this one shows
something of the relationships
between the principles
(but not in an optimal way..)

trying to make a truly participative design ...
in a world of 'stars & followers'... first pilot here:
Slide 24 : an excercise in COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE

CULTURE maps existing relationships research groups working groups
Slide 27 : Appropiate Technology lots of IT people
in PC now
(give them jobs!) Principles ‘High Technology’ CAN be appropiate! increase in
internet use:
change portafolio
design lots of new self-publishing tools: self-managing the MOST appropiate use
of Internet tec
MUST be to teach permaculture!? Information Technology

Slide 28 : Connection Strategies Principles not Personalities (professionalism) Principles Tutors for pre-dips
(without so much travel) Support Groups between
Perma-Investigators Who’s

Slide 29 : Maximizing Edge Principles investigators investigations organizations pioneers email group (tutorials and
dialogues - the corridors) groups individual Courses
Slide 30 : Accelerating Natural Succesion Principles ‘mulching’ - VALUING &
CHERISHING the work knowing our history
(culture) - the pioneers learning - accelerated by
personal relationships (with information) action-learning needs
lots of communication: & to have the theory ‘at hand’
when most relevant

Slide 35 : Observe and interact ‘Beauty is in the eye of the beholder’
Slide 36 : Catch and store energy ‘Make hay while the sun shines'
Slide 37 : Obtain a yield ‘You can't work on an empty stomach'
Obtain a Yield : Obtain a Yield Systems that most effectively obtain a yield and use it most effectively to meet the needs of survival, tend to prevail over alternatives.
Slide 39 : Darwin Kropotkin Mutual Aid Competition
Slide 40 : A sustainable system produces all the energy and resources that the system needs for it's maintainment and development. The surplus is the YIELD Energía in < System own purposes Energy + Yield ENERGY

Slide 43 : Set Direct feedback Mechanisms What would happen it a car have the exhaust fed back into the passenger compartment rather than being aimed at the pedestrians? Observe A Dramatic Example:
Slide 44 : Use and value Renewable Resources and Services ‘Let nature take it's course’
Slide 45 : Produce no waste ‘A stitch in time saves nine’
‘Waste not, want not’
Slide 46 : Design from patterns to Details 'Can't see the wood for the trees'
Slide 47 : Integrate rather than segretate 'Many hands make light work'
Slide 48 : Use Small and slow solutions ‘The bigger they are, the harder they fall’
‘Slow and steady wins the race’
Slide 49 : Use and value Diversity ‘Don't put all your eggs in one basket’
Slide 50 : Use Edges and value the Marginal ‘Don't think you are in the right track just because it is a well-beaten path’
Slide 51 : Creatively use and respond to change ‘Vision is not seeing things as they are but as they will be’
