Shifting toward regenerative design: an unconventional guidebook for designers, educators & design firm leaders

Abstract

In this interactive guide, we invite you to examine and challenge your approach to professional practice and design education by exploring a shift from mechanistic, humanistic design paradigms, toward a regenerative, living-systems paradigm. We offer reflections as five design professionals who have collectively explored the shifts in thinking, ways of being, and means of generating value that are required to meet the needs of a world in the midst of profound change and transformation.
