Abstract

Going beyond sustainability, which is mostly focused on a minimum or ‘less harm’ approach, the concept of regenerative design and development considers the improvement of a sustainable system as going beyond just being ‘sustainable’. The central message from the regenerative paradigm is that not only should human activities that are degenerative to the environment be minimized, but rather we should move towards a concept of maximising human activities that restore and regenerate ecological systems.

The regenerative design approach, which includes regenerative development, engages communities and practitioners in a dialogue to develop higher orders of aspirations of sustainability through understanding and problem-solving by storytelling – in essence, developing a language for place that regenerates and improves the environment. This shifts the focus of a design problem from singular, separate parts (or mechanical approach) to an all-encompassing, integral approach that looks at the whole system. However, forces of change are always present, and regenerative systems need to have the ability of adaptation. To deal with this complexity, the regenerative-adaptive pattern language was developed, which considers the dynamics of both humanmade and natural environments and includes the formulation of the ‘notion of regenerative-adaptive patterns’ equation. This chapter proceeds with the devising of the regenerative-adaptive pattern language, accumulating key aspects and messages from previous chapters, and charters a new knowledge system. The concluding section describes a regenerative-adaptive design model that can be used to apply the pattern language to the design of our human settlements, with the premise that this model provides an innovative solution that goes beyond the current practice of sustainable design and development. The chapter concludes with the fundamental pattern Notion Of Regenerative-Adaptive Patterns [10], providing instructions how to navigate through the complexity of the pattern language.

Vorheriges Kapitel Living Structures: The Fundamental Properties of Wholeness

Nächstes Kapitel Case Study: Application of the Regenerative-Adaptive Pattern Language

Grabow (1983) noted that pattern language as a process alone offered little help in transforming a particular design vision and the construction of a place into actual wholeness. This led Alexander to develop it further to include a generative process and into the next level of patterns, the Morphogenetic sequences (The nature of order: An essay on the art of building and the nature of the universe, books 1 to 4; Alexander, 2001–2005a, 2005b, 2005c, 2005d)

In my PhD Thesis, I have referred to the equation initially as the ‘notion of regenerative patterns’, but due to further testing and analysis, I realised that the equation inherently includes both regenerative as well as adaptive qualities, and thus amended the description to better reflect the outcomes as the ‘notion of regenerative-adaptive patterns’.

Alexander and Neis explained the essence of centres of the whole as ‘each centre is recursively dependant on other coherent centres for its own coherence. To understand this idea is to define all centres in this way, as the fundamental primary entities’ [of a place] (Alexander et al., 2012, p. 430).

See Chap. 9, Sect. 9.6 for a detailed explanation of the term ‘15 Fundamental Properties of Wholeness.’

Potential is defined as the inherent capacity for coming into being, for growth and development. From the living systems theory perspective, all living systems are distinguished by a unique essence, and all have, based on that uniqueness, an inherent potential to which they are moving toward or away, depending on their state of integrity and vitality or health. Regenerative design identifies the patterns that reveal the underlying energy flows (Lyle, 1991), including the actual and the potential that shape that system (Capra, 1996; Von Bertalanffy, 1968).
