DESIGNING WITH NATURE Beyond Buildings: Regenerative Planning for Resilient Living :


 

Activity Title:

DESIGNING WITH NATURE
Beyond Buildings: Regenerative Planning for Resilient Living

 

Description

This training will be an immersive, thought-shifting day that will leave you inspired, equipped, and ready to rethink the role of architecture in a changing world.

In this one-day online course you’ll discover:

      Why designing with nature is central to the future of architecture – because resilience, health, and climate stability depend on seeing beyond the building.

      How to treat nature as essential infrastructure – whether you’re shaping a single home, a rural estate, or a large urban development.

      How to truly partner with nature – design systems that support soil, water, and biodiversity to withstand extreme conditions and multiply the land’s potential.

      What it takes to build a fully integrated “building ecosystem” – nature’s proven strategies that outlast every design trend.

You’ll walk away feeling clear, focused, and inspired to rethink what architecture can (and should) be in a changing world.

Hosted in association with Wild Banana Design and SAIA Eastern Cape, this event blends science, strategy, and design to show how regenerative planning can transform both our buildings and our landscapes.
