Read landscapes before you redesign them

GIS-powered spatial intelligence for regenerative design, agroforestry and food forests.

Spatial analysis does not automatically produce design decisions

Regenerative landscape design depends on judgement. But in many projects, the reasoning behind key choices remains implicit, difficult to defend, and hard to transfer.

Maps, layers, and observations matter — but they do not by themselves make design logic visible.

  • Key choices often stay partly intuitive

  • Design reasoning is hard to communicate to clients and collaborators

  • Valuable knowledge is easily lost between projects

RegenGIS helps make design reasoning visible

RegenGIS helps designers connect spatial analysis to actual design choices.

It supports a workflow in which site conditions, ecological context, and spatial evidence contribute to decisions that are clearer, more defensible, and easier to reuse.

A method for clarity, not automation

RegenGIS does not replace the designer. It helps make design reasoning more explicit.

  • The analysis computes

  • The designer decides

  • The method connects

The goal is not automated answers, but clearer and more transferable judgement.

From landscape patterns to design choices

RegenGIS is built to help with the kinds of decisions regenerative designers actually face.

  • where water structures make sense and where they do not

  • how terrain orientation shapes placement choices

  • which areas offer the best balance of opportunity and constraint

  • how alternative design strategies can be compared more explicitly

This is where spatial analysis becomes more than interpretation — it becomes support for design decisions.

What RegenGIS is building

RegenGIS is developing a practical ecosystem around this method.

  • a QGIS-based workflow for regenerative spatial design

  • method updates and workflow examples

  • future learning resources

  • more structured ways to compare and communicate design choices

What RegenGIS makes possible

Make reasoning explicit

Turn design choices into visible and structured reasoning, so they can be explained, discussed, and refined.

Make decisions defensible

Ground design decisions in spatial evidence, site conditions, and ecological context.

Make practice reusable

Capture decision logic so methods can transfer across projects, teams, and time.

Designed for regenerative landscape practice

RegenGIS is built first for people who need to make and explain spatial design decisions in real projects.

  • regenerative landscape designers

  • agroforestry and food forest designers

  • regenerative farmers working with design questions

  • landscape architects and ecological consultants

It is especially useful where site complexity, trade-offs, and communication demands are high.
