- Abstract
- Regenerative design offers a sustainable design approach that aims to go beyond mainstream paradigms by prioritising the role of nature as a crucial part of the built environment design. However, previous studies show that current regenerative design frameworks have several factors that impact the efficiency and credibility of their use. Therefore, this study proposes a Regenerative Design Framework for the Thai context (RDF-T), aiming to develop a new framework that can address the gaps in previous studies. Regenerative design is relatively unknown among Thai design practitioners, and this approach has not yet been applied to Thai built environment design projects. RDF-T's structure combines the principle of regenerative design with the ‘Backcasting technique’ and ‘Thai's Rating of Energy and Environmental Sustainability (TREES)’ to strengthen its credibility and capability. This research investigates the potential of RDF-T as a contextual built environment design tool through its application in a 3-day workshop on the development of design guidelines for proposals within an area called Nong Bua in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Qualitative methodology is the main approach of this study, while a quantitative methodology is adopted to support the comprehensive outcomes. Findings reveal that RDF-T can produce a contextual built environment design for the case study area and has the potential to be applied to other built environment projects in Thailand. However, the findings also show that Thai Socio-Ecological Characteristics are important additional factors that can help underpin the efficiency of this framework for future users. In addition, an outcome of this study, the RDF-T manual, offers primary material for regenerative design in the Thai context and supports the application of the framework in different regions across the world.
