Blueprint 200 Partners
We’re cooperating with the Blueprint Alliance to manifest one of its core projects – Blueprint 200. Members and collaborators are experienced in the design and construction of regenerative infrastructure or emergency settlements, working at sites all over the world, including in Pakistan, Greece, Nepal and South Sudan. Together we work to co-create the vision, combine our knowledge into manifesting common pilot models and disseminate the solutions.
The Blueprint Alliance includes many friends and colleagues of the late Paulo Mellett an environmental activist and permaculture advocate. The group formed to integrate their various fields of knowledge into a holistic, widely adaptable framework of principles for the design of regenerative settlements. Regeneration acknowledges that human culture can actively benefit the health of the natural ecosystem, using disruption and change as tools for creative evolution.
The members are committed individuals dedicated to the long-term development of the project, who intend to co-create and disseminate this shared vision. Working with the members on manifesting the vision are collaborators who share their skills and time on focused projects. The alliance and collaborators make up the Blueprint Network.
