Regenerative Architecture Thinking

Institutional Metabolism

Definition

The rate at which an institution processes resources, makes decisions, and adapts to change. Regenerative design requires matching capital metabolism to institutional metabolism for optimal alignment.

Example

A fast-moving startup has high institutional metabolism (quarterly pivots), while a cathedral-building project has low metabolism (generational timescales). Capital structures must match these rhythms.
