UK Architects Declare Regenerative Design overlay
The UK Architects Declare Regenerative Design primer and overlay document remains a work in progress to review, revise and expand it, using feedback. The Primer is structured around practical suggestions for those working through RIBA’s Work Stages. Part of the wider transition will eventually involve change in the RIBA Plan of Work itself, currently operating in the current system, being alive to regenerative opportunities within the Work Stages to help on the journey towards a regenerative mindset.
Making the principles of regenerative design accessible;
- Enabling a common language, better communications and project outcomes;
- Providing practical steps and tools for implementation and delivery;
- Illustrating some of the traits of regenerative design;
- Building confidence for everyone to embrace a different way of shaping the built environment.
