A Regenerative-Adaptive Pattern Language
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.
