Place-based Ecological Literacy and Design
Presentation by UVM Naturalist Walter Poleman
www.uvm.edu/place/burlingtongeographic
www.uvm.edu/~uvmedcPine Street Corridor and Watershed Design Charrette
This two-day workshop builds from the “Pine Street and Beyond: Living Spaces, Working Places” March 2001 Charrette, and uses a Sim Van der Ryn quote to set the stage for this next iteration “Ecological design begins with the intimate knowledge of a particular place. Therefore, it is small-scale and direct, responsive to both local conditions and local people. If we are sensitive to the nuances of place, we can inhabit without destroying.”
