Ranking System for Sustainable Building Design at Futurebuild Event
The Regenerative Architecture Index (RAI) is set to be a focal point at this year's Futurebuild exhibition, where visitors can learn about its principles and explore its criteria for regenerative solutions. To join the conversation, entries are now open for the 2025 RAI.
At the Futurebuild 2025 event, visit the RAI stand, which will focus on three key criteria: being a good ancestor, co-evolving with nature, and creating a just space for people. In its debut year, the RAI attracted 68 organizations from the built environment sector, ranging from solo practitioners to international multi-disciplinary firms. The stand, created by 4D Design Agency, aligns with regenerative design principles, utilizing an innovative structure that minimizes material use and maximizes recyclability without compromising visual impact or quality.
To delve deeper into these topics, a discussion is scheduled on the Arena Stage at 5pm on March 4th. 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 share insights from their practices, such as Julia Barfield from Marks Barfield Architects, who will discuss long-term thinking and adaptability to create enduring architectural legacies. Tom Bennett from Studio Bark and Sophie Crocker from White Arkitekter will also offer their perspectives on co-evolving with nature and creating just spaces for people, respectively. Anna Pamphilon from Within Planetary Boundaries and UK Architects Declare will expand the conversation, addressing regenerative architecture's role in addressing the climate and biodiversity crises.
Whether you are an architect, designer, policymaker, or a passionately curious individual, this session promises to inspire and challenge conventional thinking. Register for free to attend this enlightening discussion.
