Permaculture is synonymous with ecological and regenerative design, and 
features holistic approaches that integrate natural environmental processes 
with human-made systems to enhance both human and environmental health. 
Permaculture design is rooted in agriculture and horticulture, yet is 
far-reaching and interdisciplinary in nature, connecting city planning, 
ecology, architecture and technology. During this 11-session course, students 
will visit Pittsburgh’s premier examples of permaculture in action to get a 
sense of what is possible in urban sustainability. Students then will put 
their new knowledge into action by co-designing a space at Phipps Garden 
Center.
