Publisher's Summary

Regenerative design and architecture

What will it take to restore balance to our world, repair past injustices, and support future generations' survival? Reaching beyond "sustainability", "regenerative" practice is increasingly named as a new goal, but what does this emerging term really mean? And which key mindset shifts might enable truly regenerative transformation?

Looking deeply into the web of life that created and supports us, and drawing inspiration from diverse cultural traditions and perspectives, spirited thinkers Michael Pawlyn and Sarah Ichioka propose a bold set of regenerative principles with potential to transform how we design, make, and manage our buildings; infrastructure; and communities. Whether you're a built environment professional or client, an activist, or a policymaker, Flourish offers an urgent invitation to inhabit a new array of possibilities, through which we can build a thriving future, together.

Flourish: Design Paradigms for Our Planetary Emergency is read by Nicola Burgess.

Original music by Tobias Withers.

Profile Image for Linda M. Cockburn

An inspiring book, well written and researched

Brave and new, rather than reiterating the mess we're in it was great to hear stories of our possible future, some of which are already on their way. I did find the collage of different sound recordings distracting. sometimes overlays of three different pitched voices in the same sentence. I eventually got used to it though. well worth listening to, in a way it's a collage of ideas and ways of thinking that might just help us 'get there'
