Site Analysis presentations, and Lecture on Permaculture 20.2.14

20 Feb 2014: The two studios have spent two weeks doing site analysis, including history, climate, context and culture of London. They showed some early intuitive response ideas for master planning on the site. We had two 90-minute presentations, followed by a lecture about Permaculture.

In the afternoon, Jay Abrahams of Biologic delivered a talk to our Tall Buildings group and to Wang Qi's China water garden group about Permaculture.


Although we will have to be ingenious to make direct use of it in our scheme, the China group will find it wonderfully useful. It has sharpened student minds to thinking about the Water Cycle, about rain water, grey water, irrigation of planting etc. With our 3 storey deep basement, we could also find space for the tanks and plant for sewage biodigesting.
