CT12 Holistic Systems Design for Regenerative Resilience

Using an ecological lens, students study how Holistic Systems Design — systems thinking — can be used to design and manage a bioregion so that it is highly regenerative and resilient to shocks. Many decades of regenerative forces — syntropy — will be needed to restore ecosystems and move communities towards sustainability. Sustainability is reached when goals are achieved — and by design regenerative forces (syntropy) are equal to degenerative forces (entropy) — equilibrium. Resilience by whole systems design at a bioregional, local and micro scale is an integral component of this track. In other words, this is similar to how micro-economics fits into economics. This track covers subjects such as biomimicry (nature-inspired innovation), etc.

RSD Course Versions

The pre-alpha version of a lesson is one that has not been peer reviewed yet — however, don’t worry, pre-alpha is good enough to be live! The alpha version is an early version of a peer reviewed lesson that is part of a dedicated evaluation process. The beta version includes almost all of the final content, videos, etc. yet it may still need to be tweaked somewhat.

The first modules of the pre-alpha version of the RSD Course are already live. The reason for making the pre-alpha version live is that we are actively engaging with our ‘early adopter’ crowdfunding students and contributors so that we can build the best course possible. The completed alpha versions of the entire course will be live from the 1st September 2024.

The beta version of the entire RSD Course will hopefully be released by 1st March 2025. The ‘completed & refined’ release of the RSD Course (English) should be available around late-2025. The course will then be translated into other languages — around 10 languages at first, and then more according to demand.
