Environmental Regenerative Design

Environmental Regenerative Design

• Focuses on creating buildings that minimize resource use and actively reverse environmental damage
• Seeks a positive net impact through ecosystem restoration and revitalization
• Design should account for long-term environmental effects
• Emphasizes future-oriented thinking in all design stages
• Aims to reverse existing environmental damage
• Repairs the relationship between people and the environment through restorative design
• Works towards a net positive environmental impact
• Buildings should contribute to environmental restoration and improvement
• Designs buildings for efficient resource use
• Goes beyond sustainability by regenerating resources and ecosystems

Green Design

• Aims to increase resource efficiency in buildings
• Reduces negative impacts on human health and the environment
• Promotes sustainable practices
• Considers environmental, economic, and social aspects in design
• Creates new design methods for environmental challenges
• Encourages the optimal use of materials in buildings
• Reduces waste and promotes recycling
• Focuses on increasing energy efficiency in buildings
• Utilizes renewable energy sources
• Uses efficient methods and conservation of water resources
• Uses and implements water-saving technologies
• Improves indoor environmental quality
• Reduces exposure to harmful substances
• Minimizes the negative effects of buildings on the environment
• Promotes environmental regeneration
• Applies sustainable construction practices
• Integrates green design principles in building projects

Environmental Sustainability

• Focuses on meeting present needs without compromising future generations
• Uses resources efficiently to minimize environmental impact and promote long-term ecological balance
• Early 20th century saw increased focus alongside global epidemics
• Green design improves resource efficiency in buildings, reducing negative health impacts
• Sustainable design considers environmental, economic, and social aspects in resource use
• Requires understanding the impact and precautionary measures during epidemics
• Defines technologies provided by environmental sustainability to confront and coexist with epidemics
• Principles of sustainability help implement precautionary measures to avoid the spread of epidemics
• Multifunctional quarantine spaces should be considered
• Changes in press offices from separate rooms to open spaces
• Virtual activities (meetings, awareness) are organized
• Changes to study methods and exams in education to online or hybrid models
• Changes to classroom interior design (furniture distribution, ventilation)
• Environmentally sustainable design adapts to lifestyle developments and precautionary measures during epidemics
• OECD's four main objectives include efficiency of sources, energy efficiency, compatibility with the environment, and curricula organization and complementarity
• New design methods contribute to achieving precautionary measures during epidemics
• Use sustainable design, green architecture, and environmental regeneration design

Restorative Design

• Seeks to repair the relationship between people and the environment
• Promotes healing, integration, and revitalization
• Enhances well-being and environmental health
• Focuses on creating spaces that promote physical and psychological healing
• Aims to reduce stress and anxiety through design elements
• Creates environments designed to support specific therapeutic intervention(s)
• May incorporate equipment or layouts to facilitate treatment processes
• Integrates people with disabilities or other special needs into mainstream setting(s)
• Design promotes accessibility and inclusivity
• Aims to restore energy and vitality
• Incorporates elements of nature and opportunities for relaxation and recreation
• Repairs and enhances the relationship between people and their surroundings and promotes a sense of connection to nature and the environment

Sustainable Design

• Aims to minimize negative environmental impact through efficient resource use
• Stresses environmental compatibility and consideration of economic and social aspects
• Designs that meet present needs without compromising the ability of future generations
• Incorporates precautionary measures relevant in situations like epidemics
• Increases efficiency of using resources such as energy and water in buildings
• Optimizes the use of resources from energy to water to materials
• Conserves energy, water, and resources to achieve economic vitality
• Prioritizes compatibility with the environment
• Reduces the impact of the construction process
• Preserves the health of the environment and society
• Emphasizes the importance of designers and architects being up-to-date with new methodologies
• Focuses on interior design elements within diverse environments
• Prioritizes the efficiency of resources
• Achieves economic vitality
• Maintains physical and psychological health
• Includes environmental management through a set of concepts
• Includes environmental, economic and social challenges to create new design methods
• Improves human comfort and the living environment
• Preserves the life of ecosystems for human survival
• Provides comprehensive approach to all aspects of environmental, economic, and social design
• Is concerned with a comprehensive concept in all aspects of environmental, economic and social aspects
• Produces technological solutions to design an appropriate internal space for precautionary measures required to confront epidemics
• Integrates the internal space with the surrounding environment by opening horizons to environmental sustainable architecture
• Uses sustainable environmental architecture to prepare for the spread of any epidemic that enriches the internal vacuum, formally and functionally

Environmental regenerative design focuses on creating buildings that minimize resource use and reverse environmental damage. It seeks a positive net impact through ecosystem restoration. The design accounts for long-term environmental effects. It aims to reverse existing environmental damage.
