Course Overview
Regenerative building is an approach that goes beyond sustainability by actively restoring and revitalizing ecosystems and communities. It aims to create built environments that not only minimize harm to the environment but also have a positive impact on ecological systems and human well-being. Regenerative principles draw inspiration from nature, recognizing the interconnectedness of all living systems and seeking to mimic nature's regenerative processes. It involves designing in harmony with the natural environment, fostering collaboration and holistic thinking.
