Task 2

The document provides an abstract for a research project investigating how traditional Mediterranean construction practices align with permaculture principles. The goal is to discover how these techniques can address climate challenges and promote sustainable development. A multidisciplinary approach will be taken, drawing from books on Mediterranean building, permaculture, and green architecture. The research seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of how traditional Mediterranean techniques and permaculture principles can be connected to construct climate-resilient and sustainable green buildings. Suggested literature on construction materials, permaculture, and green building is also listed.

Abstract

The Mediterranean region has a rich history of traditional building methods that are
closely tied to the local environment.
This research investigates how these traditional techniques align with permaculture
principles and how this alignment can be used to create green buildings that are resilient
to climate change.
The main goal of this study is to discover how traditional Mediterranean construction
practices can be integrated with permaculture principles to address climate challenges
and promote sustainable development.

To achieve this goal, a multidisciplinary approach will be taken, gathering insights from
various sources, including books such as "The Barefoot Architect" by Johan van Lengen
and permaculture references like "Edible Cities" by Judith Anger and "The Permaculture
City" by Toby Hemenway, as well as others.

The results of this research seek to provide a comprehensive understanding of the


potential connection between traditional Mediterranean building techniques and
permaculture principles. Furthermore, it aims to o er insights into how these synergies
can be harnessed to construct climate-resilient and sustainable green buildings in the
Mediterranean region and answer the question how we can integrate such principles in
contemporary architecture.
