Abstract
AbstractUrban environmental degradation and disasters are leading to a paradigm shift towards implementing regenerative and resilient concepts on all scales. The interrelationship between microscopic and macroscopic elements of the built environment must be considered from pre-design through to building handover to avoid future disasters and environmental degradation in urban areas. This paper aims to identify synergies between the resilient and regenerative design activities needed on all scales and dimensions. The developed conceptual framework represents the context in which the study is conducted. Cooperation strategies on different scales are required to mitigate the climate crisis by reflecting the dimension of increasing energy consumption requirements from materials to the urban built environment in cities. The methods used to answer the research questions are data analysis from literature and trend comparisons at local, regional and global levels. New approaches and interrelationships were found by testing hypotheses in different design traditions and socio-economic situations. Research findings clearly showed that a new concept has to be created as a cooperative system of discrete disconnected parts in scale-jumping design based on the synergies from regenerative and resilience design and practice. This paper concludes with new concept design principles that need to be implemented in daily life to support the creation of resilient and regenerative solutions for the built environment.
Highlights
Many manmade products together with natural materials are used to create resilient and regenerative architecture
New concepts and approaches beginning with regenerative and resilient design at all scales and phases are needed for developing processes to creating regenerative and resilient environments
The same principles are followed in the resilience and regenerative design scale- jumping processes as spatial and social aspects, including all aspects of systems thinking: from materials, components, structures, buildings, cities, the built environment to human social systems and culture
Summary
Many manmade products together with natural materials are used to create resilient and regenerative architecture. Some products are better suited than others as resilient and regenerative building solutions. New strategies in the construction sector are calling for a paradigm shift, a new approach, innovative ideas and continual evolution of culture in relationship with resilient and regenerative materials in architecture. In this chapter, ‘materials’ are analysed in the context of use for creating micro and macroscopic architectural elements. Many natural materials have been used to create buildings. Some authors call for new uses of green materials as innovative and creative solutions. Green materials such as hemp can be a good alternative to more toxic petrochemical-based materials (Attia, 2016)
