Permaculture Code of Architecture and Building

  • Buildings should not be higher than trees.
  • Should use locally sourced building material considering the ecological cost.
  • No air conditioning system or architecture designed around artificial temperature control. (i.e. prefer passive solar design)
  • Prefer building public transport and infrastructure underground (subway, pedestrian underpass, electricity and water lines)
  • Adopt and integrate solar punk designs into public infra and buildings (sidewalks, major 4-wheeler roads, water canals and bicycle lanes)
  • Non-asphalt roads (for water permeability, no extreme thermal variance from the environment, preferably cobble-stone roads)
