## Recalibrating the way we build for the Regenerative Age ### **About Regenerative Architecture Patterns:** The Regenerative Architecture Patterns is an ongoing project dedicated to promoting sustainable and regenerative design practices in the field of architecture. The website serves as a collaborative platform for architects, designers, and sustainability enthusiasts to explore, contribute, and learn from each other's experiences. --- *The graph doesn't show on mobile (yet). Please use a tablet on horizontal mode or a desktop.* --- Patterns are the threads that weave together the principles and strategies of regenerative architecture. They offer a structured approach to address complex challenges and guide us towards designing spaces that not only minimize environmental impact but also enhance ecological health, social well-being, and economic vitality. The inspiration for this project is the work of Christopher Alexander and A Pattern Language, newly informed by ecological systems thinking and applied to the emerging concept of regenerative architecture. ### **Getting Started with the Pattern Library:** This graph was created as a questioning device for projects big and small, a tool for scrutinizing a vision through the lens of regenerative design and finding inspiration and advice. This is not a checklist. Meandering is the way through it, instead of linear, in order to invite one into a systems thinking approach instead of a mechanistic one. The website features an expanding pattern library, continuously curated to showcase a diverse range of regenerative architecture patterns. Each pattern is a powerful tool that addresses a specific challenge, such as [[Carbon Neutral]], [[Healthy Air]], [[Choose with conscience]], [[Restore the flow]], and many more. ### **Navigate with the Graph View:** The list has been designed using Obsidian, harnessing the power of the graph view to create a dynamic and interconnected experience. Explore the patterns through a visual network, allowing you to discover relationships, connections, and dependencies between patterns, fostering a deeper understanding of their synergistic potential. In addition to pattern descriptions, each pattern page provides a comprehensive overview of its context, problem statement, and practical solutions. You'll find examples, related patterns, and thought-provoking questions to help you integrate regenerative design principles into your projects. ### **Get Involved and Join the Regenerative Movement: *Note: This project was AI-aided at different stages of curation, editing and formating.* This is a work in progress, a version 1.0.0 of an idea. It is a model of what this idea could look like. You are invited to build it. Share your insights, experiences, and best practices with the community. Together, we can expand the pattern library, enrich the knowledge base, and create a valuable resource for all those passionate about regenerative architecture. The Regenerative Architecture Patterns website believes in the power of collaboration and collective action. Join in the regenerative architecture movement and contribute to a sustainable future. Together, let's explore innovative ideas, share practical solutions, and shape a built environment that harmonizes with nature, nurtures well-being, and regenerates the world around us. ### About Jo Petroni Jo Petroni is an architect and advocate for regenerative design.
