A new infrastructure paradigm: Regenerative
Prove Musk wrong, that we haven’t lost hope for Earth: We don’t need to move to Mars.
Here are some solutions that consider more than just life-cycle costs of buildings, budgets and timelines focused on short-term economic gains, but long-term benefit to communities, humanity and longevity of life on the planet. Old industrialized paradigms of expansion and production sacrificed too much health and well-being of family, community, and the natural ecosystems that support life.
2025 Design Project: Marsh Meadows Living Center
Designer/Contact: Jerami Marsh, UAF Civil/Architectural Drafting Student
Unveiling: March, 2025
Overview: An assisted living center in Mat-Su Valley, Alaska integrating a multi-acre regenerative-style market farm, combines private pay and Medicaid approved residential, both shared and private quarters.

Health benefit from farm-to-table produce
Less carbon footprint and positive carbon banking
Biodiversity and regenerative farming methods support soil ecosystem
Exposing younger workers to elderly supports appreciation for life and giving
