Abstract

Regenerative architecture and urban development represent a crucial paradigm shift beyond sustainability, focusing on actively repairing and restoring ecological systems. This approach integrates buildings and urban environments with natural processes to create self-sufficient, beneficial spaces that enhance ecosystem health and human well-being. It involves developing frameworks for facades and the broader built environment, emphasizing ecological principles, resource efficiency, and positive socio-ecological impacts. Key strategies include circular economy principles and bioclimatic architecture, demonstrating practical pathways toward environmental restoration and achieving Sustainable Development Goals, moving from theory to practical implementation for truly thriving environments.
