00411 Basics section Design Challenges

Design is where science and art break even. — Robin Matthew

In permaculture, we learn design by actually doing design. The purpose of the Design Challenges document in each of the sections is to give you practice doing design. Each challenge document has some small projects that you can work that will help you to develop design skills. Never forget that none of these challenges exists in isolation. Each is an aspect of the holistic design for your life that is the iPermie goal!

These are the three design challenges presented in this section:

  • Design a way to use iPermie (00071)
  • Design a learning community (00081)
  • Design a record keeping/observation system for your life inventory. (00161, 00171, 00181)
