19 Think of four projects from your experience: two that were fulfilling... two that were agonizing...

20 Image the design process with these projects... What are the core issues that made the difference?

21 Why Integrative Design? Integrate: to make into a whole by bringing all parts together; unify Whole: containing all components; complete; not injured; Heal: to make whole*... begin with definitions Whole and Healthy: Sum is greater than its parts

22 We have all the technologies we need to sustain and heal the planet? What s preventing us from doing so?

23 The major problems of the world are the result of the difference between the way nature works and the way people think. - Gregory Bateson The ultimate source of problems (in our culture) is in thought itself, the very thing of which our civilization is most proud... - David Bohm

24 Barriers to working with Living Systems... Dualistic view of life. Science / Spirit Quantity / Quality Mind / Heart Efficiency /Effectiveness Humans / Nature Fragmented perspective

25 ... contemporary The Natives are Indians accustomed often use to the set word fire of wilderness the Country in as a all negative places label where for they land come, that has and not to been burne taken it twize care a year, of by humans for viz: a long at the time Spring, and the fall of the leafe. -Thomas Morton Tending the Wild, M. Kat Anderson

26 California Indians believe that when humans are gone from an area long enough, they lose the practical knowledge about correct interaction, and the plants and animals retreat spiritually from the earth or hide from humans. When intimate interaction ceases, the continuity of knowledge passed down through generations, is broken, and the land becomes wilderness. Tending the Wild, M. Kat Anderson

27 Wholes An environment, or, an ecology?

28 If you can't solve a problem, enlarge it. Dwight Eisenhower... a sustainable / regenerative project is NOT about the project.

31 Reconcile around potential, not problems... Harmonize Potential (evolution) Existence (problem solving) Activating Restraining Compromise
