Permits & Site Planning

In the regenerative building world, the site is the rst teacher. Before a single tire is rammed, before solar panels are mounted or water tanks installed, a design begins with observation, orientation, and compliance. This course provides the complete framework for understanding how to evaluate land, design regenerative systems in harmony with the legal framework, and navigate the permitting process. Pangea Biotecture has spent over three decades designing and building o -grid homes in some of the most regulated jurisdictions in the United States and abroad. From Taos County’s Earthship communities to the Chamisa Verde a ordable housing initiative, to experimental systems in Myakka, FL and the remote Pueblo lands of northern New Mexico, this course re ects hard-won knowledge from both successful permits and contested ones. It provides practical, grounded guidance for real-world application. ⸻
