How can regenerative design improve ecosystems, communities, and cities?
Regenerative design is an approach that focuses on making social, economic, and environmental systems better.
Hello!
This Friday's newsletter covers a range of topics, from urban-scale projects to community initiatives. Also, announcing a 40% discount on selected previous courses with code SKILLUP40!
Furthermore, this weekend we have a workshop called "Environment-Reactive Computation (with Ladybug)” which aims to develop quick sketch designs using methods that can be infinitely scalable via list structure. Then, we will apply our approach to a sizable theoretical building with surrounding context to create a system that can adapt to environmental and other contextual factors like program and panel height. This workshop is free for Digital Members.
Let's dive into the newsletter!
