The regenerative design provides buildings in harmony with nature, with limited ecological footprint and coevolutionary generative principles. If the entire design process follows the Cradle to Cradle approach, the synergic relationship between building and surrounding environment increases. Thanks to its biotic and transformed-biotic materials, building assumes the behaviour of an organism that interacts, adapts, evolves with the context. It uses energy of the sun and earth’s resources, produces oxygen and CO2 sequestration, closes the cycle of water and waste, breathes and it is built with materials recyclable at the end of their useful life. The contribution illustrates conceptual structure and criteria of an evaluation model on which the technological design principles are based.

Abstract
The regenerative design provides buildings in harmony with nature, with limited ecological footprint and coevolutionary generative principles. If the entire design process follows the Cradle to Cradle approach, the synergic relationship between building and surrounding environment increases. Thanks to its biotic and transformed-biotic materials, building assumes the behaviour of an organism that interacts, adapts, evolves with the context. It uses energy of the sun and earth’s resources, produces oxygen and CO2 sequestration, closes the cycle of water and waste, breathes and it is built with materials recyclable at the end of their useful life. The contribution illustrates conceptual structure and criteria of an evaluation model on which the technological design principles are based.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
