Abstract

The current example in the field of architecture today is one of degeneration and obsolete building technologies. Regenerative architecture is the practice of engaging the natural world as the medium for, and producer of the architecture. It responds to and employs the living and natural systems that exist on a site that become the “building blocks” of the architecture. Regenerative architecture has two focuses; the first is to design with attention to conservation and performance through reduction on the environmental impacts of a building and the following is to make the environment an equal partner in design.
