The language of patterns

The language of patterns echoes systems thinking, an important thread in regenerative design. 

The idea of a repeatable pattern also invokes time, another important thread to tie in.

A pattern can be improved upon, it is something we can tailor.

Patterns communicate the idea of something that is repeatable and therefore something that can spread. 

A pattern is also something that can stick. If it sticks then we can make change. 

And that is ultimately what this work is about. 

In this book, we expanded upon this pattern metaphor to include, threads, motifs, pattens and projects.
