Overview

Inflection vol. 11 proposes to direct conversations to an embrace of architectural regeneration. In biological terms, regeneration denotes the ability to renew, restore, or grow tissues in organisms and ecosystems in harmony with natural fluctuations. It implies a renewal rather than simply restoration. Applied to design, it necessitates a shift in our inherent modes of thinking to accommodate similar reciprocities that address the renewal of space, function, and resources. Regenerative architecture, more than an isolated goal of the sustainable development agenda (such as reduce, reuse, recycle, repair, or restore), is a whole-scale practice, a framework, an overarching model. Inflection Volume 11 seeks to not only explore the multifaceted paradigms that emerge from regenerative architecture such as biocentric design, regenerative building strategies, and (re)construction processes, but also deeper regenerative ideas of place that addresses cultural and social parameters of a given context, and the tectonic implications of this approach. Inflection is a student-run design journal based at the Melbourne School of Design, University of Melbourne. Born from a desire to stimulate debate and generate ideas, it advocates the discursive voice of students, academics and practitioners. Founded in 2013, Inflection is a home for provocative writing - a place to share ideas and engage with contemporary discourse. Inflection is published annually by the Melbourne School of Design at the University of Melbourne and Melbourne Books.
