This edition of studio-as-book reflects on the regenerative pedagogy and design methods used in B.A. Design Studios DS.3(2) & DS.2(4) tutored by Eric Guibert, Anthony Powis, Michael Spooner, Bruce Irwin, and Christopher Daniel between 2018 and 2024. The book is conceived as a CARRIER BAG holding the ten REGENERATIVE DESIGN SCORES developed in the studio and a collection of essays. We conceive "scores" as methods open for interpretation. Each score is explained and illustrated by key examples produced by students over the years.
The studio aimed to investigate what is now called regenerative architecture and the overlap between building and landscape architecture. We have been speculating on what such a design might be, how it may be created, and the transformative pedagogies that support such learning. This research has unfolded with regenerative approaches in architecture. We hope that this first synthesis of methods will help students, teachers, and practitioners alike.
