Abstract
Presents exemplar forward thinking for structural engineers, highlighting how they can adapt their designs, operations and projects from meeting sustainable requirements and agenda, towards embracing regenerative approaches as well. Being flexible and ambitious, whilst acknowledging important concepts of climate change, biodiversity, the built environment needs custodians who strive to maintain balance through reparation, regeneration and self-sustainability. Considers designs inspired by thriving living systems, holistic outlooks, place-based continuous design and offers 12 levers of system change.
