Landscape Infrastructure

CURRICULUM/REFERENCE Landscape Infrastructure Event (GSD 2012)

Before I get swamped with school, I'm attempting to focus on what it is that I'd like to be able to do after graduating. Landscape infrastructure comes up as a topic that is pretty key, requiring re-evaluations of all-encompassing processes that control and distribute the resources that we live with (so vague!) I guess I'd like to work on breaking down and diversifying elements of this infrastructure so that it is more responsive and resilient like any living thing?

Keywords:

metabolic rift
urban-rural dynamics
material flow & accumulation
biological, ecological infrastructure & diversity
political, social, economic, framework barriers
risk & mitigation

The idea is to inoculate places with small efforts to open up and break down status quo processes of producing, consuming, and living (metabolization). Haha, like a good winter cover crop mixture of rye, vetch, and bell beans to break up and enrich that old crusty topsoil.
