The part I love (because it fires up the imagination and creative thinking) about #8 (Integrate rather than segregate) is that you have at least 3 elements performing/supporting each function (so if 1 fails, or even 2 fail, there's still 1 element performing that function), and at least 3 functions are performed by each element, so redundancy is built in to a design. Simple examples: Function: providing shade Elements providing shade: grape vines on a pergola, shade trees, a roof (thanks, Geoff Lawton!) Element: a pergola Functions performed by a pergola: provides shade, acts as a trellis for grape vines, gives children a play structure, serves as an outdoor seating area (that's 4 functions!)

Can’t believe a permaculture vid popped up on my home feed. Landscaping vs. permascaping: changing the land to work for you vs. learning to work with the land that is. Work smarter, not harder. I see that human values and morals have been added into the concept of permascaping.

I'm absolutely going to use these principles when I finally get my piece of heaven in Bulgaria. Gaining as much knowledge as possible so I can start implementing it from day 1 on the land.
Even before then, you can start practicing these prinbiples in your own backyard, or even in the town or city where you live, so that once you get your "piece of heaven" you have some experience. See Toby Hemenway's two phenomenal books, "Gaia's Garden" and "The Permaculture City," And best of luck with your plans and aspirations!

Beauty is important, also. Beauty is a motivator. I believe Bill Mollison said beauty was one of the things we need to include in our design. We need to incorporate more usefulness *with* beauty. Beauty is something often forgotten in the utility formula.

True. In the garden of Eden there was "every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food" (Genesis 2:9). Whether or not you're a believer, there is ancient wisdom in having not just utility but beauty also. Beauty is important.
I think with a permaculture approach to the human beings, we would also not waste, observe and interact, harvest the yield, in other words creativity and expression would naturally spring from community that practices these principles toward nature and toward ourselves. Art is one of those emergent unexpected gifts of nature.

On principle #8: Integrating everything will also create higher dependence among units. This is not bad if each unit can be replaced easily, but if a lot of units are dependable this can create a chain reaction. I would say that when one integrates, one has to create redundancy as well.
