This week's recommended reading 📚
The Pattern Book for Regenerative Design by Oliver Broadbent
A practice guide for engineers (and other humans) who want to shift the construction industry, one project at a time.

Photo of a nude male torso drenched in back light from the sun framed by a philodendron and a digital carrot rendering covering the growing set on a couch.
Covered, but still growing.
Verdura works on our tensions.
Body, ecology, exposure, care are not separate.
Just different points on the cycle.

Permakulttuuria kotipihassa luento
Eilinen Permakulttuuria kotipihassa -luento meni mukavasti! Hyviä kysymyksiä esitettiin ja keskustelua syntyi. Kiitos kaikille kuulijoille ja Valkeakoski-opistolle ja Kangasalan kirjastolle järjestämisestä 🧡 #permakulttuuri #regenerativedesign
Though this alternative logic is indirectly evident in the resuscitation of #paganic rituals in #regenerativedesign movements, particularly in relation to Celticism and the contemporary Celtic revival.
I wrote a bit about the latter phenomena here: repository.lboro.ac.uk/articles/con…

Nearly 87% of us live in towns or cities, so why wouldn't we make them healthy places?
In this short film Dr Amanda Yates explains what we can do to make our cities better and healthier places to live:

Regeneration isn’t only ecological. It’s social.
Lawrence Halprin’s idea of “touching the land lightly” and projects like Sea Ranch remind us that regenerative places depend on communities caring for the land and buildings together.

#Salutogenesis asks a simple question: what creates health? Once you start asking it, buildings never look quite the same again.

✨ Imagine a world where quality matters more than quantity.
When we design our homes, systems, and lives with care and intention, sustainability becomes not just possible—but desirable. 🌍

From Lincoln’s Yosemite Grant to Roosevelt’s Badlands legacy, conservation has always been about continuity—not quick wins. Honored to steward that arc as Living Building Challenge consultants on the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library. Legacy matters. #Sustainability #RegenerativeDesign
We must treat existing buildings as material banks and embrace electro-tech. Are we doing enough to prioritize climate-conscious design over aesthetics? What will the new & retro-fit era actually look like? 2/2

Schüco Sales Director Dan Gleeson talks to Architecture Today Technical Editor John Ramshaw about how the façade systems manufacturer is continuing to evolve its approach to #regenerativedesign, long-term stewardship and being a good ancestor
Urban development has no shortage of ideas — but execution keeps failing.
New Building Better Cities episode with @ericcoreyfreed.bsky.social on friction, regeneration, and why “no” is easier than “yes” in sustainable buildings.

Three Verdura Studio logos stacked vertically. The middle logo is navy blue inside a tan box, while the top and bottom logos are cut out to reveal the flecked, fibrous texture of recycled mulch paper.
Verdura Studio is where art meets the earth.
Balance, resilience; those themes now have a home. Not a new label; it’s an evolution of the stories I’ve been telling through my work, now further rooted in community and regenerative design.

🏘️ Let’s build a global network of sustainable villages.
By sharing open-source designs for food, energy, housing, and community, we can create resilient places to live—anywhere in the world. 🌍

Got Ethics?
What if your farm, business, or service was designed to regenerate rather than deplete?
What if it cared for people, the planet, and the future in equal measure?
Systems that work with nature, not against it.
Resilience built in!

🌿 Let’s create a world where humanity thrives in harmony with nature.
When our spaces are designed to support people and the planet, well-being becomes a way of life—not a luxury. 🌍

🌱 Let’s make sustainable living the global response to climate change.
By designing communities that work with nature, we can create solutions that scale, restore ecosystems, and support life for generations to come.
