'Regenerative design' asks a different question; How can we design in a way that increases biodiversity, reduces carbon and leads to flourishing communities? In short how can we design so that people (and the ecosystems that support them) thrive. In this book the authors explore how, as structural engineers, we can bring about change. Using creative metaphors and case studies they:* Explain how engineers can change their practice now - to create a regenerative future* Explore the different levels of change - from individual projects to the culture of our industry* Illustrate how we can learn from living systems* Show how, by considering not just our site but the whole supply and waste chain, we can reimagine our impact - both positive and negativeThe book is a creative call for radical change; encouraging engineers, and anyone else involved in the built environment, to think and design differently - to do more good How can we design in a way that increases biodiversity, reduces carbon and leads to flourishing communities? Thought leadership from The Institution of Structural Engineers that represents a creative call for radical change; encouraging engineers, and anyone else involved in the built environment, to think and design differently.
