CDAE 106: Renewable energy workshop

Fieldwork Summary

 

This semester I worked as an intern for Whole Systems Design, an Ecological design firm that integrates landscape design with farming design with homestead design and focuses on building regenerative human habitats that are prepared for the post peak oil world. I worked under Ben Falk and my jobs varied from simple things like stacking firewood and potting plants, to more complex things like applied problem solving and contributing to organizational layout design. Due to the fact that my internship was during the spring I was very active in the permaculture that was happening at Whole Systems Design, the varied weather made up for some interesting on the spot problem solving and improvisation. Hopefully we will see more places like Whole Systems Design popping up because it is going to be essential to focus on regenerative design in the near future.
