Local boulders and pathways of crushed rock are repurposed from land clearings. Moss has moved into some of the garden pathways and is allowed to flourish as a walkable lawn alternative. Other lawn alternatives include an ornamental step-able flowering thyme groundcover that conserves water. Edibles include blueberries, everbearing strawberries, elderberry, and native barberry.

  • Landscape Design
    Landscape Design University of Wyoming Laramie County Extension Catherine Wissner, Horticulturist. Landscape Design "Sustainable landscapes" describes landscapes that support environmental quality and conservation of natural resources. Once established, it should grow and mature virtually on its own — as if nature had planted it (less plant pruning, more use of native plants). The Focus of a Good Landscape Design is To: Enhance or modify the existing microclimate. Increase plant and wildlife biodiversity. Reduce water use. Reduce maintenance. PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN Do a Site Analysis 1. Where is North? 2. Microclimates, good and bad spots. 3. Measure the site, this is a must do. Put down the microclimates. 4. Seasonal sun angles. 5. What scale will you be using? 1inch equals 10 feet on paper. Site Analysis Water Wise Garden 1-Plan and design. 2-Create practical turf areas. 3-Improve the soil. 4-Use mulches. 5-Irrigate efficiently. 6-Maintain the landscape. Get a Basic Idea of What You Want Develop a Theme(s) Butterfly, Native Bee or humming bird garden, a rose garden, an herb garden, a Victorian garden, formal or in-formal garden, a moon garden, a shade garden or a specific color garden.

  • AMAL Aquaponics As a Social Art Project
    أمل AMAL Aquaponics as a social art project... and how it works.... The word Aquaponics is a combination of two words: aquaculture and hydroponics. It refers to any system that combines conventional aquaculture (raising aquatic animals such as snails, fish, crayfish or prawns in tanks) with hydroponics (cultivating plants in water) in a symbiotic environment. In normal aquaculture, excretions from the animals being raised can accumulate in the water, increasing toxicity. In an aquaponic system, water from an aquaculture system is fed to a hydroponic system where the by-products are broken down by nitrifying bacteria initially into nitrites and subsequently into nitrates that are utilized by the plants as nutrients. The water is then recirculated back to the aquaculture system. أمل AMAL As existing hydroponic and aquaculture farming techniques form the basis for all aquaponic systems, the size, complexity, and types of foods grown in an aquaponic system can vary as much as any system found in either distinct farming discipline. In 2014 we expanded the project of the artist residence CASAdelDRAGON and we bought a first plot close to the village of Cervera del Maestre. We started the color garden project, by combining ancient and contemporary methods of horticulture with modern technologies (solar power, internet of things). As part of this project we founded the free University of informal education (UNIIE) and we started to offer workshops and classes in various fields. أمل AMAL One embedded project is aquaponics. We want to discover and learn, how to implement this agriculture technique in the lower Maestrazgo under our specific circumstances (light, access to water, quality of soil).

    PROMOTING HEALTHY AGING THROUGH TRANSPORTABLE ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT COMMUNITIES A DARCH PROJECT SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI’I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF ARCHITECTURE May 2017 By Alessandra C. Olsen DArch Committee: Joyce Noe, Chairperson Mariel Moriwake Christy Nishita Keywords: Accessory Dwelling Unit, Transportable, Flexible Architecture Abstract Due to Hawai’i’s aging population, high cost of living, housing shortage, and limited public transportation, aging in Hawai’i can be challenging. The sprawling suburban neighborhoods commonly found throughout Oahu can lead to the social and physical isolation of many elderly individuals. Isolation which can possibly lead to mental stress with anxiety and depression, can also have negative impacts on physical health. The purpose of this dissertation is to create home and community environments that promote healthy aging. The housing prototype that was explored is an accessory dwelling unit, (ADU), that can be placed on a single-family home lot, or transported to a planned community site comprised of similar ADU units. The uniqueness of this ADU home, is that it can be moved intact, thus allowing the occupant to move locations, yet remain in the same home surroundings. The relocation of the ADU to the planned community will allow the occupant more opportunities for social interaction, physical activity, horticultural therapy, and access to nearby amenities. Therapeutic healthy aging activities are also promoted within the interior of the units through adaptable furniture pieces. Precedent studies of adaptable interior environments, transportable homes, and Metabolic architecture were analyzed for their application to the design of this housing prototype.
