TIME: 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM
Regenerative design and its practices seek to move beyond sustainability to form a positive partnership between buildings, communities, and nature. As the industry seeks strategies and skills to address the climate emergency, we must move beyond sustaining current systems and look towards a restorative framework for future generations. This presentation explores the critical question around the building industry's methodology in addressing the climate emergency and the necessary shifts toward regenerative design. The investigation identifies three steps that lead towards the regenerative design solution: firstly, creation of the programmatic needs through listening and dialogue with the local community; secondly, a deep understanding of the site – its cultural context, climate, and physicality; and thirdly, the weaving together of the program with natural systems to optimize the passive design opportunities while enhancing the celebration of the environmental.
Learning Objectives:
1. At the end of the presentation, the participants will receive a comprehensive overview of regenerative design methodologies.
2. Understand the environmental, economic, social, and cultural benefits of utilizing the regenerative design process.
3. Discuss key design and planning principles.
4. Analyze key case studies that support regenerative design methodologies.
