Anthropocene Problems

The thesis aims to drive strategy for regenerative drainage system designs under the discussion of Anthropocene problem and climate changes. The discussion and research in CHAPTER TWO help to define the issues. CHAPTER THREE and CHAPTER FOUR projects help face the issues and do the pre-design for the regenerative research.

Biomimicry processes help to explore new powerful and useful strategies form species. The functional strategies help for facing extreme weather in the future because the species have experienced a cruel selection for 3.8 billion years. As the projects in CHAPTER THREE show, the strategies are nature inspiration for designers as a beginning. Urban design is a systematic analysis approach that helps people understand a city. The urban design processes, issue plan, structural plan and precinct design, are ways to record the city’s characteristic, identify the significant issues, and set the suitable strategies for the precinct design. As the projects in CHAPTER FOUR show, a city is much easier to understand and identify its problems with the structural plan and issue plan.

Conclude CHAPTER TWO issues: humans face many impacts and problems caused by climate change and Anthropocene problems. As a result, the thematic project aims to solve the structural problem of developing urban. The analysis processes of the research are following the principles mentioned in CHAPTER THREE. The analysis defines the significant issues in the site and the spatial characteristics. The design strategies were learned from the natural inspiration and emulate from species survival functions. Taking Tainan City and Anna District as a template for most other Asian cities, the project optimizes the drainage system to regulate urban surface overflow by separating flow, storing flow and delaying flood peak. The design processes the runoff during heavy rain that helps solve flooding problems and enhance the community’s sustainability.

General

The thesis mainly discusses the issues of Anthropocene Problems, Climate Change and Regenerative Design. Under the Anthropocene problems and climate changes, the environment on Earth has worsened. As a result, it is necessary to have regenerative designs to solve extreme emergencies and save live quality for human. The primary purpose of the research is to look for practical strategies for regenerative Earth and Anthropocene design.

Anthropocene Problems

There is no denying that humans are changing the planet at an unprecedented pace. If carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is any guide, that pace is increasing at an increasing rate. Enter the Sixth Extinction, The
