Regenerating Architecture - An Interview With Bill Reed

Buildings don’t exist in a vacuum. But we have often thought of them that way – independent objects plunked down on a piece of land with little or no regard for the impact they have on the surrounding environment or the communities they house. Efforts to mitigate the consequences have given rise over the decades to various approaches to sustainability.

But sustainability isn’t enough.

Enter Bill Reed - an internationally recognized planning consultant, design process facilitator, lecturer, teacher, and author in sustainability and regeneration. Bill and I discuss the principles of regenerative development and its impact on architects, the profession, and how we see our role in creating the built environment.
