Today on Treehugger we found a great story on Permaculture. Now, permaculture is something we here at Animal Architecture have something of a tenuous relationship with…we’re pretty sure we love it but then again it seems almost too good, too happy-go-eco-friendly to trust. Then again, many of the projects featured here in the past have a strong permaculture bent (PolySpecies Park, The Dallas projects, and Flightpath). See for yourself and maybe you can convince us to come around to the permaculture culture.

For more info on Permaculture check out the wikipedia link here and the permaculture institute here.

Ned spends most of his time wondering how our world can better support the lives within it. Musings fit for print end up here. He hopes you enjoy them.

Fritz Heag Wins Rome Prize

This year, among the many recipients is one of our previously featured artists, Fritz Haeg. We find Fritz's award particularly exciting because is recognizes his a-typical approach to practice and his unique focus on the habitats of other species as valuable to the practice of Architecture and Design. We first met Fritz at the Systems of Sustainability symposium at the University of Houston last year and have been closely watching his work since. Congratulations Fritz. This a great award for a so many reasons.
