Max Lindegger is a designer of ecological communities and sustainable systems of international repute. He is a respected and sought-after teacher in the disciplines of sustainable systems. His reputation is born of 20 years of hands on experience and leadership in the design and implementation of practical, workable solutions to the challenges of sustainability. A key element of Mr. Lindegger’s design philosophy is the recognition that whilst sustainable systems will ideally take advantage of technological innovation, they must first and foremost fit the environment in which they are placed. For this reason he gives primacy to sensitivity to local custom and culture, utilization of local resources, ongoing benefit to the community, and positive impact on the local environment. His designs tread lightly on the environment in which they are placed. Clients value this design philosophy as it encourages community acceptance and contributes to the long-term success of their projects. Max was a primary partner in the design and development of the Habitat Award winning Crystal Waters Permaculture village. This is a robust and nascent eco-village situated in south-east Queensland, and is the site of the EcoCentre learning facility and the venue for many of his courses. www.ecologicalsolutions.com.au
