permaculture

[James Gourlay <james@gourlay.net>]

Hello,

I am an environmental architecture student, formerly a programmer, as 
are so many others on the course - MSc AEES at C.A.T.  (Too much time 
in-front of a screen has made us want to run for the hills).  I would 
be interested in getting involved with the permaculture pattern 
language.  I read this thesis a while back 
http://www.holocene.net/dissertation.htm.  Software patterns, and other 
design tools in software development are directly applicable to 
permaculture problems.  Since my design course, have been studying a 
lot of Christopher Alexander's work.

Please let me know how I can help

Jim
