Geodesign - Ancient concept, universal applications, modern tools

Geodesign is both a new technology and an old concept. At the inaugural Geodesign Summit held in 2010, contributors variously defined Geodesign as “designing with nature in mind” and “changing geography by design”. At its core is the principal that design should adhere to the natural landscape to lessen environmental impact, achieved through comparing and sharing designs, factoring in the unique attributes of a site and inviting public consultation and collaboration.
