An Instructional Module on Permaculture Design Theory for Landscape Architecture Students
Permaculture offers a unique set of
design principles that are very implementable into the design process
and could be of great interest to landscape architects. The purpose of this study was to develop and implement an
instructional module for landscape architecture students at Utah State
University for two consecutive years. Project-based learning was
implemented in order to help students better understand permaculture
design theory. Effectiveness of the module was measured through an
evaluation of post-module survey responses and student design projects.
Results from the second year of teaching showed an increase from the
first year in student interest, understanding, and desire to learn more
about permaculture design theory.
