The brittle landscapes of the Mediterranean are in a slow desertification process. Dryland design is primarily focused on water management, soil development and intelligently integrated animal and plant interactions. In this specialist design intensive we will cover the strategies and techniques that can turn the situation around. From desertification back towards warm temperate climate that once shared the resilient diversity of tropical regions.
