The Role of Regenerative Design in The Sustainability of Educational Buildings

Abstract

Sustainability is a holistic meaning that has been addressed by many studies in many respects but has agreed to achieve a human-friendly environment, which cannot be sustained without integration with natural ecosystems to reduce the consumption of natural resources needed to sustain life without compromising the ability of subsequent generations. One of the requirements for achieving a livable environment is a healthy lifestyle. The surrounding physical and natural environment affects the health of its users. Attentional fatigue and lack of concentration are the most important negative effects of the health of contemporary society in general and the users of educational buildings in particular, as a result of the continuous daily pressures to which they are exposed, showing the consequences of multiple psychological and physiological diseases. Hence, the research adopted to address the problem of increasing levels of tension and stress among users of educational buildings, assuming that the utilization of regenerative design mechanisms in educational buildings could reduce the levels of tension and fatigue, and increase the stimulation of attention, which is represented by the self-organization of the place). The results of the research proved the effective role of the mechanisms of spatial self-regulation in the manufacturing of regenerative health spaces.
