Here you can access the 15 designs (links below) in my 456 page Diploma portfolio, aligned to Diploma System 5.2 with the Permaculture Association in the UK. There is also a video with my Diploma presentation, as well as critique of the diploma system.
Accredited Friday 12th Sept at the 2014 UK Convergence in Gilwell Park, Epping, London

As an overseas diploma applicant with no contact network in the UK, I chose the independent route and completed the diploma without any tutoring.

My portfolio includes converting a terraced vineyard in rural Portugal into a perennial food system, also a public park design, Keyline drought-proofing, and two desert gardens in Arizona. Elements include:

    Bioengineered tyre stairways
    Gravel-harvesting swales
    Drought training system for tree roots
    Instant, old growth topography
    10 uses for an illegal tree
    Snake house & shrub warmer
    Catabatic noise mitigation
    Olive grove polyculture
    Digraphs for resource transfer
    Desert food forest integrated with a car park

The document "Formalia" contains all the fomally required material that prospective clients won't want to see cluttering up any designs that they're paying for. It also contains parodies and satire inspired by well-meaning people obsessed with introspection and design process rather than design outcome. 'Formalia' also contains some strong and reasoned critique of the U.K. Permaculture Association's diploma system 5.2.
