Alongside the Regenerative Architecture exhibition across the 3 days of Futurebuild 2025 (see separate listing), AD and Architecture Today are hosting a discussion on the Arena Stage at 5pm on 4th March as part of Futurebuild’s ‘Knowledge Programme’.

Chaired by Isabel Allen, Editor of Architecture Today, the event brings together leading voices in the built environment to explore how architecture can actively restore and regenerate ecosystems and communities.

Speakers will unpack the core principles of the RAI, each offering unique insights from their practice:

• Anna Pamphilon from Pamphilon Architects & Within Planetary Boundaries and a member of UK Architects Declare's Steering Group will introduce regenerative architecture’s role in tackling the climate and biodiversity crises and AD's work in this essential field.
  
• Being a Good Ancestor – Julia Barfield from Marks Barfield Architects and a member of UK Architects Declare's Steering Group will explore how long-term thinking and adaptability can create enduring architectural legacies.
• Co-evolving with Nature – Tom Bennett from Studio Bark will discuss how design can work within, rather than against, natural systems to regenerate ecosystems.
• Creating a Just Space for People – Sophie Crocker from White Arkitekter will share how architecture can foster equity, resilience, and community empowerment.

For all architects, designers, policymakers - and all who are passionate about the future of our built environment. Join us at 5pm on at the Arena Stage on March 4th.
