Towards Regenerative Re-use: Lessons Learned Re-using Existing Buildings

As part of Clerkenwell Design Week, join Bond Bryan for an engaging session at our newly refurbished showroom. This talk and discussion explores the challenges and opportunities of re-use through the lens of sustainable and regenerative design. The presentation will draw on insights gathered during recent internal ‘Circular Thinking Accelerator Sessions’; and offer an honest, practice-based perspective on Bond Bryan's experiences re-using existing buildings. It'll especially focus on where and how (and how successfully) we’ve applied the key principles of regenerative design identified by Architects Declare and the Regenerative Architecture Index: being a good ancestor, co-evolving with nature and creating a just space for people. The session will conclude with a call to action for our industry: regenerative re-use is vital for the future of our (built) environment.
