Permaculture design methods and tools. We have looked at the Design Process from the proposal document to the delivery of the design, and then at some Design Sequences (BREDIM and SADI) that encourage us to take a systematic approach to our designing. We have seen how simple questionnaires (PASE sheets, design checklists) and participatory planning processes (planning for real) give opportunity to users of locations – be they client or community – to contribute ideas for the elements and activities that the final design will incorporate. In looking at Sectoral and Zonal Analysis, we learnt about some principal design tools that gave us the ability to work out placement for design elements with regard to the natural energy flows through the site (sun, wind, rain, water and frost) and with regard to the efficient use of people’s own energies based on the frequency they need to visit the element (i.e. the distance it is placed from the centre of activity)
