A Regenerative Approach to Design Excellence (0.5 LU|HSW)
Wednesday, April 22, 2026 | 12:00-12:30pm ET
This mini-webinar introduces regenerative design as a transformative approach that integrates buildings within their natural and social environments to actively restore and strengthen communities and create a net-positive impact to human and ecological health. More than a mindset, it's a strategic opportunity. It positions architects to lead systemic renewal and create lasting environmental, social, and economic value. Participants will explore how whole-systems thinking, place-based design, and long-term adaptability can position architects as leaders in creating net-positive impact. Using a practical framework that applies to everyday design, the webinar highlights how regenerative strategies integrate environmental performance, community equity, and economic vitality-reframing design as a catalyst for resilience, renewal, and collective wellbeing.
