Regenerative Landscape Design: Shelters

As part of the landscape, a shelter must exist harmoniously with the land and ecosystem by adapting to natural processes without interrupting them. Unfortunately, the way shelters and human settlements have evolved has helped contribute to the environmental crises we are currently experiencing- global warming, urban heat islands, and ground and surface water degradation. This 3-hour interactive online course discusses how we can make shelters a natural part of the ecological system by implementing planning and designing techniques, using earth sheltering, and conserving energy with solar power.

There is a test included at the end of each section of this course.
