"A conjugation of the words permanent and culture, permaculture was originally aimed at agricultural practices. Over time, the tactics and methods of this framework matured and extended to cover multiple (mostly physical) domains, even seemingly far-fetched from its origins.

"Some areas where its strategies can be employed include:

• in architecture, city planning, engineering, and landscape design;
• in the production of textiles, clothing, and footwear;
• in the restoration of degraded ecosystems;
• and in the development of community projects.

"Even in a more digitalised climate, by considering its principles, the underlying philosophy can be put to good use, including in UX. It can help seek out design ideas for products that are energy-efficient and generate sustainable life cycles, or simply reconsider current methods that could do with a fresh approach." - Dora Cee
