ClientVision/GoalIssuesObjectives

Vision:

Goal:

To design/create a sustainable community for Parker Flats based upon regenerative design principles

To develop a framework for community which enhances the quality of human life, integrates human presence with natural processes and provides for long-term sustainability

Regenerative Design:

Regenerative Systems:

To find ways of replacing common linear systems of throughput flows with cyclical flows at the sources, consumption centers, and sinks

Regenerative systems provide for continuous replacement through their own functional processes of the energy and materials used in their operation
