Advancing Regenerative Design for a Resilient and Restorative Built Environment

This webinar, supported by SGBC Member AECOM Singapore, draws on insights from Regenerative by Design by David Cheshire, Director at AECOM, exploring the mindset shift needed to design within planetary boundaries. Participants will gain an understanding of key regenerative principles, including systems thinking, bio-inspired design, circular economy approaches, and designing within environmental budgets. These concepts are brought to life through global case studies such as the Google Bay View Campus, Nanjing Eco-Island, and the PAE Living Building, alongside emerging technologies including algae façades, microbial fuel cells, and green roofs. The session offers practical insights for built environment professionals seeking to create resilient, restorative places where people and nature can co-evolve.
