Regenerative Placemaking
Regenerative development aims to create thriving, healthy, and resilient environments by nurturing ecological, social, and economic systems. It cultivates the capacity of people, communities, and natural systems to renew, sustain, and thrive, offering models and processes to envision and achieve a location's full potential.
Placemaking engages stakeholders—both human and non-human—in shaping what happens in a specific location through co-creation, addressing their needs and energy. It ranges from short-term tactical interventions to long-term strategies.
RegenXPlace integrates these approaches, using regenerative development to holistically understand a place and develop a compelling vision, while placemaking applies this vision locally. Together, they foster a dynamic dialogue about thriving and design interventions to unlock a location's potential.

“New”
Exhibited at the (Be)Longing summer show at Counihan Gallery, City of Merri-Beck.
Just showed up in a “new” place, who am I and why am I here?
Did I plan this, or was it an acceident? Is it just me, or is it too loud in here?
To assimilate, to become one. To be confused and loose your thoung.
To be happy you are not there, to be sad you are here.
Which way is up, and what is right from wrong? How can I put the memories behind?
….
Born from an accident and random things coming together, here you see my homage to “Longing Belonging”, an installation by Iranian-born artist Hossein Valamanesh. Look it up, you see what I am talking about.
The image of a burnt Persian rug in the Australian outback was my first introduction to the new land that I was migrating to. It was both shocking and hopeful. Painful and claming.
Do you see the fire dancing? Would you put it out or dance with it?
