Regenerative-Adaptive
Design for Sustainable
Development
A Pattern Language Approach
Proposes a new theory for the sustainable development and planning of
human settlements and cities
Explores the human-nature relationship patterns between people and their
natural environments
Uniquely incorporates information on advanced indigenous knowledge
systems
Charters a new pattern language that embeds the biophilia hypothesis within
design and planning practice
In this book, the author tests a regenerative-adaptive pattern language theory towards
investigating the possibilities of a holistic, integrated design and planning method for
sustainable development that incorporates the principles of regenerative design, as well as an
adaptive pattern language that re-establishes our wholeness with nature, and considers the
vulnerabilities of a changing landscape. The book examines an integral approach to
contemporary theories of planning and design that explores the human-nature relationship
patterns in social and spatial interconnections, between people and their natural environments.
The interconnectedness of human and natural systems is used to scaffold possible solutions to
address key environmental and sustainability issues that specifically address the need for
patterns of behaviour that acknowledge the duality of ‘man and nature’. In 12 chapters, the
book presents a holistic, regenerative-adaptive pattern language that encapsulates how
communities can better appreciate landscape change under future climate effects, and
acknowledges the importance to adapt to patterns of change of place and the environment
and therefore inform the communities’ responses for sustainable development. The application
of the regenerative-adaptive pattern language was tested along the Great Ocean Road region
of the Victorian coast in Australia.
