(Reaes Pinto, 2008). Neste artigo pretende-se aprofundar o conceito de solar passivo e o que e necessario ter em consideracao para que um edificio solar passivo possa funcionar com eficiencia. Todas as fases sao importantes, desde o desenho urbano, ao projecto de arquitectura e das especialidades ate a escolha criteriosa dos materiais. No entanto, se a construcao nao for bem executada o edificio nao ira funcionar como e esperado. O crescente numero de software de simulacao e de modelacao, cada vez mais precisos, permitem auxiliar o dimensionamento e afinacao de solucoes passivas. Deste modo e mais facil construir edificios com elevado conforto higrotermico que utilizem o minimo de energia possivel para a climatizacao, iluminacao e ventilacao. Neste artigo ...

This review paper underlines the limits of Sustainable concept and looks at Biophilia and Regenerative Design, two emerging concepts that appear to have a more appropriate answer to the environmental problems that we face today and in the future. This paper will give an overview of each concept and design framework, trying to interpret the way they operate, the differences, similarities and goals.

Projects can be designed and redesigned as change agents that have the capacity to influence and develop the vitality and capacity for evolution of these living systems as a whole. Resilience and sustainability become by-products of a strong and better structured whole system. this is a review paper that aims to uncover the patterns that emerge from different fields of human endeavors were the Regenerative approach is being applied such as business, supply chains, agriculture, building industry and others. The intention is to bring concrete examples that can reveal the differences between regenerative and conventional sustainable approaches.

new era caused by Human activity characterized by mass extinctions of plant and animal species, polluted
oceans and altered atmosphere, among other long lasting impacts.
The building industry has one of the largest negatives impacts on natural systems, even if unintended. When
buildings and infrastructures are raised they do not only change the landscape, but they also change the way
the natural system works in those places.
To tackle these environmental problems caused by the building industry, several environmental design concepts
have been emerging. But what are they really delivering, is energy efficiency, low impact solutions? Or
do they have any positive contribution to the health of living systems, the systems that allow life to exist on
earth as we know it? To really understand the way these several environmental design concepts perform it is
necessary to compare and scale them, in a way in which it is easier to see the real outcome. With references
from other environmental design concepts it becomes easier to understand what does the Regenerative Design
concept aim to accomplish. This “new” design approach, can be applies to architecture, landscape and planning.
It questions how natural systems function and how human activity can co-create alongside them in order
to rebuild the web of life.
Instead of just aiming for high efficiency and reduced human impact, Regenerative Design sets a new role for
the building environment, creating the idea that, if well design, the act of building and inhabiting a place can
integrate human and natural activities, catalyzing a positive effect that will vitalize and benefit both sides.
This is a holistic approach to design that spurs and integrates a new set of disciplines (systems thinking, geology,
biology, ecology), as well as a new set of design concepts (sustainable, biophilic, and biomimicry design).
