2/3 meerkeuze examen en 1/3 taken
LES 1 – JAN WURM
INTRO – DEFINITION
WHAT IS REGENERATIVE DESIGN
Medical term, health, looking to the organism and what it needs to regenerate, to be good again.
A living organism = renewal or restoration of a body (part) after injury of as a normal process
A place = improving a place by making it more active, inclusive and thriving
A ecosystem = full renewal or restoration of the ecological health of an ecosystem
Sustainability = less bad, minimize negative impact
Regenerative = doing good, achieve net-positive benefits by restoring and enriching the environment
Regenerative design = an approach in which human systems are designed to co-exist and co-evolve with
. natural systems, ensuring planetary and social health
Kunnen zeggen of iets sustainable of regenarative is, of waarom iets sustainable toch ook regenarative is.
Sustainable is vaak iets wat ze doen of de problemen die er al zijn op te lossen, of aan te pakken.
Regenarative is dan eerder iets herstellen, zorgen dat het in eerste instantie al beter is voor het milieu
OUR PLANET
Nine planatary boundaries that have to be in good shape for the weather, climate,… to be as it is.
These systems work together to maintain the live on this planet.
The Anthropocene = the effect of human on the planet
The decline of a healthy world equals the incline of economical wealth and growth
Not only the population is growing, but per person we also consume more and more
How healthy are we as a society? On a long term thinking?
If all resources go out, then also our growth, live, economics,… will fall out
Key question is how to keep the economic activity and human health, while using less and less resources
Donut economics (Kate Raworth)
Balance what we have and what we need
Creating a society that can provide service and materials for everyone while utilising resources in a way
that does not threaten our future security and prosperity.
Change does happen by policy makers, organizations and by citizens
A lot of pushback from businesses to be transparent about and work with the environment
,HOW TO APPROACH
Approach it from different scales; the bigger the scale, the more you see systematic interrelationships of
substances. In integrated design, holistic work is very important, so the different scales are needed.
PRINCIPLES
Designing with nature
- Learn from nature
- Utilize living organisms and biological materials
- Partner with nature as infrastructure
- Design for decomposition
Designing for Nature
- Understand our place of the living system
- Reconnect natural cycles where disrupted
- Support the web of life, design for clean air, soil and water health
- Design for more-than-human
Design with places
- Regenerative design works only in context!
- Be locally attuned and responsive
- Integrate rather than segregate
- Capture and grow surpluses in the system
Design for places
- Give land back to nature
- Bioremediate waste and pollution
- Integrate place-making with land stewardship
Design with people
- Partner with indigenous and traditional ecological stewardship, with people who have been there
for a long time
- Embed participatory and inclusive democracy
- Co-create healthy and resilient communities
Design for people
- Value planetary and societal health
- Cultivate public luxury and the commons
- Address historical inequalities with environmental justice
Systemic design
- Bring all these things together
- Look for the internal relations between people, places and nature of create them
- Focus on regenerative outcomes
- Design for positive change over time
- View the built environment as entangles with natural ecosystems
- Capture benefits at every exchange
Individual wellbeing relates to own resources, healthy nature and community of friends and family.
Our healthy is embedded in the health of ecosystems and in societies and communities, we aren’t
separated entities on this planet but part of a bigger system
,PANEL CONVERSATION
Anna Vershinia – bio design
Develops concrete surfaces witch will attract life and biodiversity
Regenerative projects – urine combined with hydroponics and microbes to create electricity.
Johan Cordonier – The Skin
Façade engineer
Regenerative projects – Works on a building with a transparent façade with a lot of glass in witch they
burned fossil fuel to heat up the building, dry it out and to not let the windows condensate. They solved
this problem by modern technology. They worked with different climates, based on the location in the
building.
The lifetime of skins and facades are very different in every design.
Kenny Verbeeck – The structure
What is the future of structural engineering and architecture, and what things can be solutions
Regenerative projects – a structure inside the space of the canal project, students had to design a
installation with the knowledge that they had to build the project themselves. So design and build with
very simple elements.
To ensure that the building will still be structural save in 60 years, we have to know how the material
engage over the years. That’s why working with new regenerative materials in structure is not that simple.
, LES 2 – JAN BOELEN (OK VOOR SAMENVATTING)
BIO REGIONS
The systematic relationships between place, people and resources that lead to a systemic design
approach.
ARLES
A city in the south of France that has a man-made natural park. Engineered with a lot of irrigation systems
to make agriculture possible
Site with cultural institute build by Luma Arle
Maya Hoffman – puts her income into contemporary art, environmental issues and human rights. She
was invited to develop Atelier Luma
ATELIER LUMA
A programme of Luma Arles, they see sustainability, regenerative design and architecture as part of
culture (not economy nor technology, but culture will change regenerative design)
Atelier Luma is a bio design lab – work with nature, and nature based solutions. (Target, specific,
resource)
BIOREGIONAL DESIGN METHOD
Find – investigation
Resource is an overrated term, because most of the time that you do bioregional work, you start with what
is already there. Can you combine that with undervalued infrastructure (fe empty buildings)?
By that becoming part of an ecosystem in a region itself
Connect – design
They try to connect science, knowledge, wisdom, plants,… witch each other in order to become to new
possibilities. Use design as a tool to make it tangible. Design that brings people together; aesthetics,
colours, materials,… helps us to have discussions and to bring different stakeholders together around a
topic, crystallize the complexity of system design.
Engage – implementation
New developed materials have to be approved, certified,…

THE TEAM
Undisciplined
You can not do this alone, it a holistic team. A undisciplined lab working in a cultural institute (third place
of research). In that whey they come with a lot of different solutions
Connecting global x local
The team is organized in different scales, from microscope to urban planners. They all work together to
connect those different scales. They do that by mapping the things that they find, visualizing tool to make
connections and to understand where the gaps and possibilities are.
They try to connect things that are common in Arles but also in other places in the world
Connecting all different kind of research in one map
