CHOP 5.5 - SUSTAINABLE, REGENERATIVE, AND RESILIENT DESIGN, INTEGGRATED DESIGN PROCESS AND INTEGRATED PROJECT DELIVERY: SYNTHESIS OF CONCEPTS, PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE Flashcards
Resilient Design
he capacity to adapt to changing conditions and to maintain or regain functionality and vitality in the face of stress or disturbance. It is the capacity to bounce back after a disturbance or interruption.
The Resilient Design Institute lists the 10 principles of resilient design:
1) Resilience transcends scales.
2) Resilient systems provide for basic human needs.
3) Diverse and redundant systems are inherently more resilient.
4) Simple, passive, and flexible systems are more resilient.
5) Durability strengthens resilience.
6) Locally available, renewable, or reclaimed resources are more resilient.
7) Resilience anticipates interruptions and a dynamic future.
8) Find and promote resilience in nature.
9) Social equity and community contribute to resilience.
10) Resilience is not absolute.
Collaboration of Project Stakeholders
Foundational to sustainable, regenerative and resilient development is the collaboration of all project stakeholders in a positive working environment. Pivotal to success is the project owner’s full engagement with decision-makers of each key stakeholder group: architect, engineers, specialist consultants, building users, constructors and trades.
Innovative Design Processes and Project Delivery Methods
Team building and collaboration require an investment of resources and time to teach/learn new attitudes, adopt different perspectives and grow empathy. he integrated design process (IDP) and the integrated project delivery method (IPD) are two management structures that support the work of collaborative, high-performing teams.
Integrated Design Process (IDP)
The integrated design process provides a systematic framework that supports whole systems thinking in the search for design solutions. IDP describes a high-level process approach to optimize stakeholder engagement in design projects.
The integrated design process requires considerable up-front consulting work in the pre-design phase of the project, leading to a redistribution of effort across the design project’s life cycle.
Integrated Project Delivery Method (IPD)
The integrated project delivery method (IPD) is a contractual and managerial framework designed to foster collaboration. At a contractual level, this is achieved using a multi-party contract.
The integrated project delivery method form of collaboration requires that a consensus-based management structure of multiple all-party committees be established to organize, plan, design, construct and commission the facility.
Sustainable, Regenerative and Resilient Design Criteria
In this approach, measurable goals of sustainability and regenerative design need to be established for each project, using collaborative approaches to engage key stakeholders, including owner/client, user-stakeholders, the design team and the construction team
Sustainable or regenerative projects often engage the owner with features having operational characteristics that otherwise would have been purchased from outside the project boundaries. On-site electricity generation is one obvious example. On-site sewage treatment would be another.
When seeking to achieve a measurable level of sustainable and regenerative development, the client needs to decide that the project is intended to achieve established targets published by a certifying organization
Sustainability, Regeneration, Resilience, Integrated Design Process and Integrated Project Delivery: A Synthesis of Concepts, Principles and Practice
Sustainable, regenerative and resilient development are principles of design, development and operation identifying desirable project outcomes. Specific goals must be established for each individual project based on stakeholder requirements. Targets for sustainable and regenerative development are published by certifying agencies and may be incorporated into project requirements.
In short, the firm must develop a core competency of collaborative skills and expert knowledge of integrated systems design to achieve competitive advantage.
