Building with the Land

In this section we will compile resources related to integrating buildings with living landscapes. While earlier talks focused on the integration of specific building systems (energy, water, waste)  with the local ecosystem this section focuses more on the direct physical integration of buildings with the landscape. Ancient practices of earth sheltering, berming, and integrating agriculture are discussed alongside contemporary technologies such as greenhouses and green roofs.  The title slides at the top outline the basic structure of the curriculum taught at SCA which this visual refference attempts to generally follow. Most images link to resources, videos, scientific papers, books, or other media. This visual library is intended to help facilitate independent research and study of these subjects.
