Towards Radical Regeneration

"Towards Radical Regeneration" is a professional book that addresses current trends in the fields of architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) and responds to the pressing challenges of the climate crisis and biodiversity loss. It offers a comprehensive analysis and encourages the AEC community to transition from a linear, extractive approach to a circular and regenerative paradigm. The book includes a variety of approaches that illuminate new challenges in the industry and provides both research papers and case studies that give a broad overview of the field. Additionally, perspectives from related disciplines such as computer science, biology, and materials science are incorporated. The chapter authors are experts who were invited to the 8th Design Modelling Symposium "Towards Radical Regeneration" at the University of the Arts in Berlin in September 2022.
