Perma-Park Project
The owner of this site is considering the option of offering the lot to the neighborhood for purchase as permanent open space to provide both access to the National Forest and as a community asset. This project is intended to be vehicle to help integrate a broad range of sometimes incompatible requirements into a coherent sustainable plan for a piece of land in the Prescott bioregion. Students incorporated the principles of permaculture, taught throughout the semester to illustrate a sustainable approach to this design challenge.
Read Student Brief

The site was extensively studied for water, solar and subtle energy flows, vegetation, views, and fire.	Views of the site showed macro drainage fire breaks and fire source.	Topo models of the larger area where the park was located showed clearly the fire path and potential danger from forest fire.
The proposals were presented to the client. Anastasia
