Will Arnold and Phil Isaac discuss examples of how regenerative principles can be put into practice by structural engineers.

Synopsis
The principles of regenerative design take inspiration from the ways that living systems have evolved over time to thrive on our planet, creating net-positive outcomes for people and nature. This article will attempt to show how we, as structural engineers, can put some of these regenerative principles into practice today, by highlighting examples that demonstrate some of these attributes.
