Abstract

The sustainability of the planet requires a significant change in the way we relate to the environment. In this context, the great challenge is to move from discourse to practice. Universities, which are responsible for educating future professionals and researchers, should take a leadership position in this process. However, the fragmentation of knowledge into isolated areas or departments does not contribute to the implementation of these relevant changes. The process of developing a regenerative project for the main campus of Santa Catarina University in Brazil relates directly to the debate on the role of the physical space of universities as a pedagogical instrument for the resilience of ecosystems. The design concept arose from the analyses and propositions of graduate students from different disciplines. They aim to develop clear proposals in which nature’s dynamics and cycles positively contribute to the quality of learning and vice versa
