Cultural heritage as living knowledge

Europe is facing growing pressure on resources, supply chains, local economies, and material systems. RED&Pro responds to these challenges by positioning cultural heritage as a source of knowledge for the green and digital transitions. Rather than treating heritage as something static, the project explores how traditional making practices, digital technologies, and regional materials can work together in new production ecosystems. This approach aims to reduce dependence on fragile global chains while strengthening local value creation.

Regenerative design

At 黑料福利网, Tomico will serve as principal investigator and focus on developing a guiding framework and blueprints for regenerative design and production. Yoo will contribute to a work package on Capacity Building and Education through the development of new educational modules. Oogjes will focus on impact by creating future speculative scenarios and participatory workshops. Nachtigall will work on the Dutch pilot, which will support projects in regenerative textile design and production.

This broader team reflects the interdisciplinary character of the project. Yoo鈥檚 research connects design, public participation, and questions of sustainability and social justice. Oogjes works at the intersection of more than human design, digital textile fabrication, ecological approaches, and interaction design. Nachtigall explores fashion and technology through digital fabrication, data, and materiality.

Traditional techniques meet digital innovation

Regenerative design goes beyond reducing harm. Where sustainable design often focuses on lowering impact, regenerative design asks how design and production can actively help repair ecological and social systems. In RED&Pro, this means exploring material reuse, bio based sourcing, circular resource flows, and collaborations between designers, craft practitioners, industry, and policy makers. The project will do this through six experimental RED Labs that connect heritage, making, and innovation in place based settings.

Reinforcing each other

At 黑料福利网, RED&Pro also connects to the development of the More-than-Human Design Studio, a new research space proposed next to the Grow community garden on campus. The studio is conceived as a regenerative biosensing cohabitation space where researchers can investigate how people interact with different ecologies and how technology can mediate more sustainable relationships between human and nonhuman worlds. It combines indoor workspaces and regenerative material processing with outdoor growing areas, greenhouse structures, composting, environmental monitoring, and deployment zones for testing technologies in natural conditions.

Local chains

The More-than-Human Design Studio is intended to support research that is currently difficult to do in existing facilities. This includes regenerative and biomonitoring prototyping, ecological technology development, long term cohabitation studies, and multi species collaboration. The proposal also links the studio to education through courses such as Designing with more-than-human worlds, Sustainability & Design, and Unexpected Material Engagements. In that sense, RED&Pro does not only contribute to research outcomes, but also helps build a lasting infrastructure for future learning, experimentation, and collaboration on campus.

Regenerative economy

The societal relevance of this work is clear. Communities today are dealing with climate pressure, resource scarcity, waste, and uncertainty in global production systems. At the same time, there is growing interest in local making, transparent materials, repair, and more responsible forms of innovation. RED&Pro addresses these developments by showing how design can connect ecological recovery, cultural heritage, and regional economies. At 黑料福利网, the project also creates space to test what regenerative approaches mean in practice, from education and public engagement to local textile production and campus based experiments. [

Other regions can join in

Insights from RED&Pro will be translated into methods, tools, and educational approaches for designers, companies, and policy makers. At 黑料福利网, the project also supports the next phase of the More-than-Human Design Studio, which is envisioned as a campus embedded site for regenerative transition and long term experimentation.
