Like permaculture in the agricultural field, institutional permaculture is a philosophy which will take on concrete form progressively, with a period of observation and a method and a rhythm adapted to specific situations and desires. Instead of acting brutally on an ecosystem in order to modify it from overnight, or blindly imposing a new model onto a prior reality, it audaciously and inventively draw inspiration from the existing situation in order to orient it towards new objectives.

In this 19-page booklet, Guillaume Désanges, president of the Palais de Tokyo, outlines the 4 pillars of his institutional permaculture.
