Tamera, Colos, May 7th, 2012: – Tamera Water Retention Landscape has been named a 2012 Finalist in the Buckminster Fuller Challenge, the prestigious annual design science competition named “Socially-Responsible Design’s Highest Award” by Metropolis Magazine. The Challenge supports the development and implementation of a whole systems-based solution that has significant potential to solve humanity’s most pressing problems. After a rigorous vetting process by the Buckminster Fuller Institute’s multi-disciplinary review team, which included an in-depth interview, followed by a review by a distinguished jury, the Tamera Water Retention Landscape was chosen from a pool of 122 of entries from around the world, to be one of only four Finalists this year. It is featured in BFI’s Idea Index and the Buckminster Fuller Challenge Website.
“This is a really impressive project, it’s the much larger application of permaculture principles and it’s restoring hydrological cycles which is a very immediate issue.”
Newton Harrison (Leading Pioneer of the eco-art movement and 2012 Challenge Juror)
