Living Resilient - The Future Village

This thesis explores the benefits of alternative off-grid village design, the value of a community's closer relationship with nature, and the positive effects this can have on the environment. The proposed village is one of sustainable living and a permaculture lifestyle, including design and planning that addresses architectural engineering, food production, and structural organization modeled after natural ecosystems. A community aware and blended with the natural environment around it.
