Paradigm shift: Elora Hardy at RD26
Opening Regenerative Design 2026, Elora Hardy, founder of IBUKU, argues that regenerative practice begins by leaning to unlearn, and question the assumptions designers have inherited. Watch her keynote speech here.
Paradigm shift: Kelly Alvarez Doran on changing the rules at RD26
Kelly Alvarez Doran, Co-Founder of Ha/f Climate Design, focused on the regulatory and economic systems that determine what gets built, arguing that carbon and cost are often driven by the same underlying decisions. Watch Kelly's talk in full here.
Paradigm shift: Amin Taha on using materials intelligently at RD26
Amin Taha, Founder and Director of Groupwork, sets out a radical approach to new construction: start with a timber building, then go through and assess each component, only substituting materials out where strictly necessary. Listen to Amin's talk in full here.
Paradigm shift: Duncan Baker-Brown on reuse before extraction at RD26
Duncan Baker-Brown, Founder and Director of Baker-Brown Studio, focussed on extraction and the use of manufactured products and natural building materials, arguing that mass extraction for bio-based materials can be just as harmful to the planet. There is another approach. Find out more by watching Duncan's talk in full here.
Paradigm shift: Marian Garfield on moving from ambition to industrial reality at RD26
Marian Garfield, Director of Sustainability at Heidelberg Materials UK, offers the manufacturers perspective to the production of one of the industries most carbon-intensive materials, highlighting the rapid development and growth of carbon capture, and emphasising the importance of synced up industries. Watch Marian's talk in full here.
Paradigm shift: Ivan Jovanovic on working with natural systems at RD26
Ivan Jovanovic, Director of Sustainability and Environmental Design at Atelier Ten, suggests we must learn to operate within contemporary systems, understand their structure, and change them from within. Watch Ivan's talk in full here.
