Regenerative
Regenerative Design Primer, published by UK Architects Declare in March 2024, suggests that common definitions of ‘regenerative’ include the following:
“A system of technologies and strategies, based on an understanding of the inner working of ecosystems that generates designs that regenerate socio-ecological wholes (i.e., generate anew their inherent capacity for vitality, viability and evolution) rather than deplete their underlying life support systems and resources.” Regenesis Group
“Enabling social and ecological systems to maintain a healthy state and evolve” RESTORE
