Resumo

The current, unsustainable developmental model, which arose from a modern, mechanistic perspective, has led us into a socio-environmental crisis. In this model, organizations operate without facing their systemic problems, and instead, they amplify the effects. The present paper criticizes this perspective and the modes of design that stem from it. It presents the concept of regenerative design and alternative ways to organize design that can lead to necessary organizational changes. Principles and movements for regenerative design are presented here which are based on an ecological, complex, integral, and process-based worldview.
