Abstract

This study tests a regenerative-adaptive design theory towards investigating the possibilities of a holistic, integrated design method 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. Findings include a holistic, regenerative-adaptive design-based model that encapsulates how coastal communities can better appreciate landscape change under future climate effects, and acknowledges the importance to adapt to patterns of change and therefore inform future resilience.
