This course began by defining design as a purposeful process than solves a problem. Geodesign was proposed as a similar process that happens on a broader scale. But geodesign goes far beyond problem solving. A cornerstone of geodesign thinking is the linking of design (or in this case, proposed changes to the landscape) to relevant science-based information and value-based information in a way that provides the framework for exploring planning issues from a collaborative, cross-disciplinary point of view. The purpose of the geodesign process is to understand a place and its culture in order to ensure that proposed solutions are grounded in evidence and the values of its people. By answering the simple questions of “what,” “where,” “how,” and “for whom?” geodesign empowers an active role in shaping the sustainability of valued places.
