As sustainability matures, attention is shifting toward regenerative design—an approach that aims not just to minimise harm, but to actively restore ecosystems and communities. This session explores how these principles can be applied in practice.
Through case studies and strategic insights, the presentation examines how projects can move beyond net-zero toward net-positive outcomes. It also considers the broader implications for design thinking and professional responsibility.
Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of what regenerative architecture looks like across different project types and scales. The session encourages a more holistic perspective on the built environment.
Ultimately, it challenges practitioners to rethink the role of architecture in addressing environmental and social challenges.
If you’re interested in pushing beyond sustainability toward something more ambitious, this session is well worth your time. Join on 21 May 2026, 1:30–2:30pm AEST and earn 1 formal CPD point.
