CHANGE BY DESIGN

About this webinar

The human species relies on the Earth’s rich biodiversity for physical survival, but it is also deeply drawn to the natural world for individuals’ mental wellbeing. Despite biodiversity’s importance, we currently find ourselves in the midst of a global biodiversity crisis with species diversity declining at an average rate of 69% over the past 50 years. Architects and designers have the power to create change in their position of influence over the built and natural world. With this power, they can support biodiversity regeneration by integrating nature and landscape into the built environment through a localized approach, resulting in healthier and more beautiful spaces. This seminar will discuss the current global status and the strategies that architects and interior designers can implement to integrate regenerative design into their practice.
