Attendees: Laerke and Lucie
Conceptual objective:
Designing the university from a permaculture perspective/utopian
- Guidelines in space and curriculum
- Take into account the more theoretical work of pedagogy and bureaucracy groups
- What does already exist? Link with some projects already existent (estate department, development project in KB)
- Spatial focus: KB
Operational objectives:
- Using the ethnographic method to research on people’s attitude in KB
- Using drawings, graphic design, maybe some basic knowledge in architecture
- Readings: People and Permaculture. Ask the PCC for some resources and readings.
- Visiting KB
- Understand all the branches permaculture is “touching”, people, groups, garden.
Actions Points:
- Lucie: create a portfolio of the practical project in KB, put everything in a folder in wordpress
- TOMORROW: Find a time that suits everybody to meet once a week to have a discussion on the readings and how we relate them to our project
We talked about that the above in the session.
We will meet from 2-4pm on Friday Room 3.15, 18 Buccleuch street. Not everybody can come for the whole time but it would be an opportunity to discuss the reading.
Based on the ‘People and Permaculture’ book (Ask the library to request more books at the library).
Read: Chapter 1 to 4 (not all this week but objective also for next week).
in case this is useful
