| description | In the Anthropocene era, human-driven destruction of nature, primarily caused by diverse industries worldwide, is significantly worsening the degenerative impacts on nature at varying scales globally. The study aims to discuss the potential and responsibilities of architecture to be regenerative for nature, knowing that nature still has the power to heal despite all that humans have done to nature. In this study, the regenerative potential of architecture in the Anthropocene era is discussed through regenerative design that aims at the co-evolution of human and natural systems. The study focus on architect Anna Heringer's significant work, particularly the METI Handmade School in Bangladesh's Dinajpur region, where her philosophy of holistic local sustainable development originated. As a method in the study, Heringer's work will be analyzed through deep readings on the potential of architecture to be regenerative and these readings will be presented with a relational diagram/ collage. The study assesses the METI School's condition pre and post-construction. It discusses how Heringer's architecture, rooted in local materials, energy sources, and global knowledge, demonstrates regenerative potential. The findings highlight architecture's ability to generate regenerative effects in a living environment. It is claimed that the construction of local with environmentally-focused decisions promotes social and economic development locally and contributes to the community's ability to create strong and well-connected social capital. This study argues that the regenerative effect of architecture in the Anthropocene era requires not solely environmental focus but also the active involvement of strong, interactive local human capital to sustain these decisions. |
