1. Key Concept: highly valuable to be conscious of and able to articulate our design process
2. Analytical/Intuitive Tension
   1. balance by incorporating both; open to emergent wild design while also evaluating practically
   2. be aware of Silo Thinking as is old pattern
   3. free to repurpose and adapt traditional design methods
3. GADIE
   1. Goals Articulation
      1. speak out vision for a site
      2. PASER sheet
      3. help clients feel allowed to dream
      4. Gaia U Think & Listen
         1. what is going well?
         2. what is challenging?
         3. long term vision?
         4. next achievable steps?
   2. Analyze & Assess
      1. methods employed to reveal useful data
      2. observation of elements on site (ie. farmer, soil type)
      3. input/output diagram
      4. data collection & analysis are mutually informative; close to context is key
   3. [Path of Least Resistence]
      1. resolving gap b/w current situation an vision
      2. allow subconscious and creative tension to find the route
   4. Design
      1. work out elements, their relationships, flow of resources
      2. includes imagining, adjusting, connecting, mindmapping w/ an emphasis on drawing
      3. preparation is key, helps design emerge
      4. form should follow function; change perception of beauty over time to appreciate functional systems
      5. drawing integrates intelligences, helps communicate and gets things to scale
      6. use permaculture tools (ie. maximise edge, succession, diversity, patterns, stacking functions, multiple elements, zone & sectors, elevation, scale of permanence)
   5. Implement
      1. how will design unfold considering budget, labor, energy, key needs
      2. project changes from conceptual to "getting it done"
      3. how accurate and flexible are time and resource estimations
      4. analytical estimating; break down time frame
   6. Evaluation
      1. reflect on goals
         1. which goals did we meet well?
         2. which goals were difficult to meet?
      2. reflect on design
         1. especially time and cost estimates
         2. best to include evaluation process as an element within the design
         3. many outcomes of work are unexpected
4. O'BREDIMET
5. GoSADIMET
   1. Survey
      1. mapping of elements, zones, sectors & social structures
   2. Maintain
      1. most people spend 80% of time w/ up keep and 20% on new developments
      2. assess resources and commitment level
   3. Tweak
      1. fine-tune changes after seeing how they run
6. Soft Systems
   1. referees to social contexts
   2. Looby Design Web
   3. Williams' three key areas of analysis
      1. relationships
      2. perspectives
      3. boundaries
7. Other Delights
   1. GaSADIE
      1. goals articulation central spiraling out branches of survey, analysis, design, implement and evaluate
   2. Patterned Languages
      1. articulate patterns of built world invoking sense of nurture
      2. important to democratize design processes
   3. Appreciative Inquiry
      1. change energy around design by following successes
8. Conclusion
   1. scope of design
      1. Concept design; "cheap and cheerful"
      2. Feasibility Study; a worked-up analysis
      3. Final Details of design, schedule and drawings; considerably more effort
   2. what should a designer charge?
