Innovation Methods

Practical insights from 2 re:build sessions on implementing innovation methods in regenerative villages.

Overview

Innovation Methods is a fundamental component of regenerative village development. This guide synthesizes knowledge from re:build gatherings to provide practical insights for implementing innovation methods in community projects.

Key Insights

Data-driven design: There's a data-driven opportunity to incorporate innovative design thinking (like geoship design) into village designs, using technology to optimize layouts and systems.

Robotic farming technology: There's exciting technology in organic bio-dynamic farming interventions that are robotic and robotically assisted, enabling precision agriculture at scale.

Built environment innovation: Technologies like geoship demonstrate opportunities for innovation in the built environment, including cladding and design thinking, with many opportunities to model and optimize.

Context-specific design: Design thinking will be much different in Thailand versus South Africa—it needs to have not only a climate-related perspective but also account for cultural context. Each location requires tailored approaches.

Examples and Case Studies

There's so much exciting technology in terms of organic bio-dynamic farming interventions that are robotic and robotic assisted, just by one way of example, or geoship, for instance, in terms of the built environment in terms of cladding or in terms of design thinking, lots of different opportunities to model

Design thinking will be much different in Thailand, for instance, or in South Africa, or in the mean, it's going to have not only a climate-related perspective, but a cultural milieu
