An Introduction to Regenerative Architecture

Description

The focus of this CPD is to introduce the audience to Regenerative Architecture. First Regenerative Design is explored as a whole, framed as an evolution of Sustainable Design, with reference to systems thinking and the circular economy. An exploration of Regenerative Architecture follows, supported by a selection of case studies and references to biomimicry, in terms of material, structural and energy efficiency, and carbon storage. By the end of the seminar you should have a greater understanding of:

- How 'sustainable architecture' is evolving

- What is meant by 'regenerative design'

- The components of 'regenerative architecture'

- The future of sustainable architecture which can be applied to future projects

- Different aspects of biomimicry in the context of architecture
