Hello folks,

Ecological Design Courses
& Sustainability Summit
January 25-February 13, 2003
The Island School-Cape Eleuthera, Bahamas
In the winter of 2003 The Island School is hosting a Permaculture Design
and Ecological Architecture course on its South Eleuthera campus. These
professionally guided programs will explore sustainable agriculture and
place-based architecture as they apply to subtropical regions. The
Permaculture Designer's Course certifies students in Permaculture Design-an
internationally recognized professional license. The Ecological Architecture
Course leads students through the design and construction phases of
vernacular architecture and green building. Both courses have been developed
by an integrated team of Island School designers, Bahamian artisans,
professional builders and Permaculturists. International leaders in design,
economics, government, and ecology are converging on The Island School
campus from February 7-9, 2003. Students in these courses will have
invaluable exposure to this leading edge dialogue and will help to shape
this conference through their project.
The Island School is a place-based semester program for high school students
from the US, The Bahamas and abroad. A pioneer in conservation education,
the School has become a hub for ecological design in The Bahamas. Our campus
is home to an array of innovations such as constructed wetlands, wind and
solar electricity, cordwood masonry architecture, and organic food
production. These two courses will be integrated within the larger systems
of the School and are key components in this model of sustainable
development.
Cost varies per course and includes all transportation, food and lodging on
island. College course credit available. Registration by email or phone. If
you have any questions, please contact Ben Falk.
