We are entering a time of change, a time when many tipping points will be passed triggering unexpected consequences for our way of life. Yet it is also a time of great opportunity, a time where it is possible to work towards a thriving, if different, future.
This book offers a hopeful response to the often frightening changes and challenges we face; arguing that we can actively create a positive and abundant future through mindful, contributive engagement that is rooted in a living systems based worldview. Concepts and practices such as Regenerative Development, Biophilic Design, Biomimicry, Permaculture and Positive Development are explored through interviews and over 30 case studies from the built environment to try and answer questions such as:
- 'How can projects focus on creating a positive ecological footprint and contribute to community?';
- 'How can we as practitioners restore and enrich the relationships in our projects?'; and
- 'How does design focus hope and create a positive legacy?'
The intention is to provide an inspiration to all kinds of designers and anyone working in the built environment, whether they are designing spaces and places, systems and processes, or simply new ways of being in the world so that they can find their own way of contributing to the creation of a thriving future.
