Real Estate / urban planning
English term or phrase: restorative elements
In a seminar programme, I have a conference entitled:

"Now for the big shift in the built environment: buildings as restorative elements. Beyond zero carbon to designing for resilience".

I'm not sure of what is meant by "restorative elements"... I have no other context :-/

Thank you for your help !

Christ Ryan proposes the view that faced with climate change, we have to start designing resilient buildings/infrastructure systems that can withstand unexpected (weather) conditions, so literally restore themselves.

"From different perspectives the search for technical, institutional and socio-ecological
systems that are resilient and sustainable, is drawing on and experimenting with a
distributed systems model. This approach addresses infrastructure design from a network
perspective - revaluing diversity, redundancy and local resources. It suggests a design
model for critical infrastructure with less emphasis on large, linear, ‘centralised’ systems, in
favour of smaller, ‘distributed’ systems and networks of exchange. We argue this
alternative can improve resilience and reduce environmental footprint."
