The new Master of Advanced Studies ETH in Regenerative Systems is up and running.
Updated DRRS MOOC 2: Beyond Systems Thinking
The 2nd iteration of MOOC#2 entitled “Beyond Systems Thinking” has re-started end of February ’24 on the EdX platform with the six main modules being released one by one. In this MOOC we develop a critical understanding of what systems thinking entails and how it can become a helpful habit. We learn about living systems…
Designing for Resilience: RE:GENERATE Alpine-urban circularity”

MOOC: Designing Resilient Regenerative Systems
The new Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) series entitled “Designing Resilient Regenerative Systems” is featuring a new virtual-real didactic concept, where local physical social outdoor action is stimulated and incubated by virtual means. Starting in spring 2022 on EdX.
Beyond bio-composites: Hemp skis
During the Systemic Design Labs course “ski and board building seminar”, we introduced hemp fibers, Paulownia and Laburnum wood veneer, grown on the lands of the MonViso Institute. Based on the long-time experience of the Grown – Design as Nature – collective, we prototyped the first hemp skis while students assisted and built their own…
Advancing Systemic Design Methodology
Our current societal challenges lead to increased complexity and uncertainty. Neither the analytical and descriptive tools of science, nor the iterative doing of design alone are adequate for addressing complex challenges to implement and guide transformative action. Combining both cultures of reasoning and methods as a fluid, solution oriented and synergistic process, is hybrid, and…
Alpine Urban Resilience
Urban and alpine areas around the globe are socio-economically connected, through the exchange of goods, through tourism, through various up- and downstream cycles -we refer to alpine-urban circularity. Many mountain livelihoods are dependent on the flow of urban populations seeking refuge in nature. Increasing urban heat has driven city dwellers to cooler temperatures at higher elevations….
