Summary

This research examines the potential of integrating permaculture into the synthesis and organization of environmental design, with a focus on the architectural and urban planning fields. Although permaculture is primarily known for its agricultural applications, it is closely linked to spatial organization and the interaction between cultures and the natural environment, promoting autonomy, diversity, and resilience. This study explores how permaculture principles can be incorporated across scales—from urban planning to individual building design—to strengthen sustainable design. The research analyzes the historical evolution of permaculture, its relationship with other sustainable agricultural practices, and its connection to historical trends such as garden cities and the 19th-century environmental movement. The methodology includes a systematic literature review and the analysis of examples from critical regionalism, garden cities, sustainable agricultural practices, and vernacular and traditional architecture. The interactions between these architectural and environmental movements and permaculture are examined to identify commonalities and potential synergies.The aim of the study is to investigate the role of permaculture in contemporary environmental design and architecture, highlighting its potential to contribute to the development of sustainable and resilient spaces that respect culture, local heritage, and the natural environment.
