WORKSHOP
“Regenerative Design:
Carbon-Sequestering & Ecosystem-Restoring Material Systems”
We bring together leading academic scientists and researchers!
December 17th, 2026 1pm - 5pm
Scope of the event
Regenerative design moves beyond sustainability toward actively restoring ecosystems and improving environmental systems. Materials such as biochar composites, algae-based biopolymers, carbon-sequestering concrete, and living building materials are enabling structures that capture carbon, regenerate soil, and enhance biodiversity.
This workshop explores regenerative material strategies, carbon accounting methodologies, ecosystem integration, and policy alignment. Participants will examine how material systems can contribute to climate-positive construction and circular bioeconomies.
Academic experts will present frameworks for regenerative architecture and carbon sequestration science. Industry leaders will showcase regenerative building projects and biochar-enhanced construction systems. Policy representatives will address carbon markets, environmental certification, and global climate alignment.
The goal of this workshop is to provide engineers, architects, policymakers, and investors with actionable pathways to implement regenerative material systems at scale.
