Designing with nature (until 2018)

Designing with nature - tools for interdisciplinary work with permaculture

With "Permaculture - Systemic Thinking and Complex Planning", the Institute for Geoecology (IGÖ), supported by teach4TU, has created a teaching format in the summer semester of 2017, which provides students of environmental sciences with an ecologically, socially and economically sound planning strategy. In cooperation with the Institute for Sustainable Urbanism (ISU), this planning method will be further developed in a subsequent innovation project starting in the winter semester of 2017/2018. The idea of the planned teaching project is to develop the joint interdisciplinary teaching and learning concept "Designing with nature - Tools for interdisciplinary work with permaculture". The holistic planning approach of permaculture adopted by the IGÖ is supplemented with tried and tested design methods of the ISU (e. g. Urban Toolbox) and a common methodical toolbox for interdisciplinary design mediation will be developed. The teaching and learning concept corresponds to the goal of both institutes to impart methods of interdisciplinary and extended conceptual understanding to the students and to exchange and learn foreign content and competences in group work. Project-oriented learning is the predominant didactic method. In addition, the latest findings from the institutes' joint work to date, such as the METAPOLIS research project, will be incorporated into teaching. In this way, students can participate in the current and highly relevant methods of research.

Project Lead Prof. Dr. Boris Schröder-Esselbach

Team Sonja Lepper

External Cooperation Partners Prof. Dr. Vanessa Carlow (TUBS ISU)

Duration 2017-2018

Funding Body BMBF, über teach4TU
