critical with some expressions of PC-
the author is not uninformed, since she aparently read though some of
the basic literature plus seems to have considerable experience in
organic food production...
Its more than clear now that some of the "Mollsionisms" ("The
designer becomes a recliner"/ "The problem is the solution"/ etc.)
were great vehicles to draw atention back in the 80ies, but also
helped to build "cult permaculture" & a cadre of enthusiastic PC
illuminates described in the article. No problem...I have been one
after my first PDC back in 1996....and I´m happy for that, since
this motivated me (in my case) to actually try to establish some
systems and realize that not everything works as well in realiity as
described th the PC Designers Manual, a greant book but definitly not
the "bible" and/or ultimate expression of PC.
Every course of some PC celebrities (Geoff Lawton is one prominent
example) adds some more to this number (and I think nobody in thios
group wants to qualify him as some body who gives "bad courses"), and
its only through a few years of practice "on the ground",
establishing designs, getting dirtty, maintainig developing systems,
producing food, experiencing how systems actually work and evolve
over time in different climates & contexts, that the imaginative
power of PC concepts get grounded.
