Rather than concentrating solely on creating newly purposed spaces, the study examines regenerative architecture diachronically—across the past, present, and future—to identify its evolving meanings and implications. The objective is to propose design directions for regenerative buildings by defining the essential ideas and characteristics of regeneration in relation to the notion of time. Drawing on previous studies, time is conceptualized through the dimensions of accumulation, continuity, and flow. Furthermore, the interplay between regenerative architecture and temporal perception is articulated using the key notions of trace, overlap, and transformation, which in turn inform the analytical framework. Through examining domestic and international case studies, the research analyzes regenerative design based on temporal concepts to clarify the underlying principles and characteristics of regenerative architecture. Finally, the study integrates the ideas of time and space to establish a comprehensive perspective and design approach for understanding regenerative architecture.
