Study Notes
Sustainable and Regenerative Design
- Buildings and sites are expected to perform beyond energy efficiency, reflecting society’s changing values towards the environment and climate change.
- Sustainable development, regenerative design, integral sustainable design, resilient design, integrated design process, and integrated project delivery are becoming common terms in the architect’s lexicon.
- There is no single working definition of regenerative development, but principles include:
- integrated whole systems thinking that explores connections between systems, including human, natural, and technological systems.
- self-feeding and self-regenerating processes.
- synthesis of human and built environments with natural systems.
Resilience in Design
- Resilience is defined as the capacity to adapt to changing conditions and to maintain functionality in face of stress or disturbance.
- Resilience design principles include:
- Resilience transcends scales.
- Resilient systems provide for basic human needs.
- Diverse systems are inherently more resilient.
- Simple and flexible systems are more resilient.
- Durability strengthens resilience.
- Locally available resources are more resilient.
- Resilience anticipates interruptions and a dynamic future.
- Resilience can be found in nature.
- Social equity and community contribute to resilience.
- Resilience is not absolute.
Integrated Design Process (IDP)
- The IDP is a collaborative inquiry method that explores relationships between human, natural, and technological elements and systems.
- It embraces whole systems thinking, which understands how elements are related and influence one another.
Integrated Project Delivery Method (IPD)
- The IPD is a contractual and managerial framework designed to foster collaboration.
- It uses a multi-party contract, binding all parties (client, architect, engineers, contractors, and trades) in a single contract with profit sharing.
- The IPD requires a consensus-based management structure with committees to organize, plan, design, construct, and commission the facility.
- Committees are hierarchical with planning and implementation committees reporting to an oversight committee.
Applying IDP and IPD for High-Performance Projects
- IDP and IPD are not mutually exclusive.
- Both frameworks can increase the probability of achieving high-performance outcomes.
- Together, they support a cohesive methodology for delivering capital projects to high levels of sustainable, regenerative, and resilient performance.
Key Takeaways for Firms
- Sustainable, regenerative, and resilient development are principles of design, development, and operation that identify desirable project outcomes.
- Firms must establish specific goals for each project based on stakeholder requirements and targets published by certifying agencies.
- Firms need to develop a core competency of collaborative skills and expert knowledge of integrated systems design to achieve competitive advantage.
