COST RESTORE Working Group 5 focused on interactions between Humans, Nature and the Built Environment, applying systems thinking to go beyond individual aspects in regenerative design to highlight bidirectional influences and interconnections.

COST RESTORE Working Group 4 focused on defining what a regenerative indoor environment is; which technology solutions are needed to enable the best indoor environment quality, whilst producing the lowest environmental and social impact; and methods to assess that environment.

COST RESTORE Working Group 3 focuses on restorative building and operations. Buildings can be constructed, operated, and maintained in a regenerative manner.

COST RESTORE Working Group 2 focuses on restorative design practice. Designing urban environments and improving existing buildings requires a regenerative paradigm shift

COST RESTORE Working Group 1 is progressing a paradigm shift in built environment thinking, from sustainability to restorative sustainability and on to regenerative sustainability.

What is the RESTORE Action?
Sustainable buildings are critical to a future that is socially just, ecologically restorative, culturally rich, and economically viable

The publication explores how the regenerative concept is now being applied to the regenerative design of cities and buildings.
A series of digital design approaches are exemplified via a series of examples drawn from leading international practitioners and researchers.

The book highlights how sustainability in buildings, facilities and urban governance is crucial for a future that is socially just, ecologically restorative, and economically viable, both for Europe and for the whole planet. In light of the search for fair solutions to the climate crisis, the authors outline the urgency for the built environment sector to implement adaptation and mitigation strategies, as well as a just transition.
