------------------
In this interview I'm joined by Marcus Jones to explore the role that our built environments can have in moving us towards a more regenerative future.
Our homes, our offices; every construction that is put up to protect us from the outdoor elements uses considerable resources to build, maintain and regulate for our comfort.
The idea of being regenerative rather than just sustainable with our buildings is a complex one. Directly healing the soil and ecosystems rather than just reducing our impact and extraction needs adds multiple layers for consideration.
Though the topics are different we can find many parallels between regenerative agriculture and regenerative architecture.
Taking a holistic mindset, shaking up the ideas that we consider normal.
Recognising the value of diversity, the context of place, connecting the wellbeing of people to the environment. And not forgetting the power of local community and collaboration.
These are all topics that could thread in to any discussion on regeneration.
Along with providing for our needs from today's sunlight.
That last one is a huge focus in Marcus' work and through his varied career in the building industry, presently with his venture called 'Living Buildings' he's done plenty of out of the box thinking on running our homes on the present year's sun.
Regenerative architecture is a relatively small niche, but it belongs to some very passionate people and impactful developments.
It was a huge pleasure to have this opportunity to delve in to Marcus' work and thinking's and gain insights into this piece of the regenerative puzzle.
