Case Study: Application of the RegenerativeAdaptive Pattern Language
Abstract The fundamentals of the regenerative- adaptive pattern language have been described in
previous chapters, including the formulation of the regenerative-adaptive design model. The need to
apply the key principles of the notion of regenerative-adaptive patterns equation to the design and
planning of our future built and natural environments has been highlighted. In this chapter the application of all the elements of the regenerative-adaptive pattern language, the regenerative-adaptive
design model, and the notion of regenerative-adaptive patterns equation are tested on the case study
of a coastal town called Anglesea, located on the Victorian coast in Australia.
This chapter start with an introduction to the case study area, the Great Ocean Road coastal region,
and progresses with documenting the application of the regenerative- adaptive design model to the
case study town Anglesea. The case study area has been analysed using the framework of the
regenerative- adaptive pattern language. Similar to the process of A Pattern Language (Alexander
et al., A pattern language: Towns, buildings, construction. Oxford University Press, New York, 1977)
and the Ecological systems method, the whole is considered and the analysis starts with the bigger
regional context, moving down in levels of scale to the local context of Anglesea. Findings resulted in
the identification of many similarities between the settlements along the coast, concluding with
detailed documentation of the application of the regenerative-adaptive design model to the town of
Anglesea. Recommendations are provided how these findings can be applied to adaptive planning and
design of other coastal settlements and larger cities around the world. The chapter concludes with the
fundamental pattern Evolutionary Adaptation [11], which includes practical applications of the
regenerative-adaptive pattern language.

… in the process of adaptation this pattern – Evolutionary Adaptation [11] – helps to complete the process of applying the Notion Of Regenerative-Adaptive Patterns [10]. The ground rules were set in
Nature’s Design [7], where the ecological method of levels of scale reveal Nature itself as the primary influencer for decision-making in adaptation design and planning.
