This 456 page portfolio, aligned to Diploma System 5.2 was accredited Friday 12th Sept at the 2014 Convergence in Gilwell Park

Guy Miklos was an overseas diploma applicant with no contact network in the UK. Guy chose the independent route and completed the diploma without any tutoring.




Guy's design work includes converting a terraced vineyard in rural Portugal into a perennial food system, also a public park design, Keyline drought-proofing, and two desert gardens in Arizona. Elements include:

  • Bioengineered tyre stairways
  • Gravel-harvesting swales
  • Drought training system for tree roots
  • Instant, old growth topography
  • 10 uses for an illegal tree
  • Snake house & shrub warmer
  • Catabatic noise mitigation
  • Olive grove polyculture
  • Digraphs for resource transfer
  • Desert food forest integrated with a car park

Guy read the following text while clicking through the correspondingly numbered .pdf slides. The video would have served as well. But warm bodies that shake hands and shed dandruff are preferred at convergences, even when they pollute the stratosphere in order to perform this social ritual.

Portfolio Content
===============

The document "Formalia" contains all the fomally required material that prospective clients won't want to see cluttering up any designs that they're paying for. It also contains parodies and satire inspired by well-meaning people obsessed with introspection and design process rather than design outcome. 'Formalia' also contains some strong and reasoned critique of the diploma system 5.2.

Diploma Formalia v.25.pdf, 89 pages (and system critique)
