Participants in the 2026 Regenerative Architecture Index are invited to showcase their work at Regenerative Design 2026, a new month-long event that will take place at the Building Centre in central London throughout October.
Architecture Today is launching Regenerative Design 2026 — a four-week exhibition and learning programme that will take place this October at The Building Centre in central London.
Built around the Regenerative Architecture Index, a partnership between Architecture Today and UK Architects Declare, this will be the first permanent annual physical home of the Index, and will offer a platform for organisations within the RAI to share knowledge and showcase their work to the construction industry, clients and the public.
Opening on Thursday 1 October 2026 and running until Friday 30 October 2026, the Festival will include a ‘scene-setting’ week exploring the broad principles of regenerative design, with each of the following weeks focusing on one of the three broad pillars of the Regenerative Architecture Index: Being a good ancestor; Co-evolving with nature and Building a just space for people.
Every organisation that participates in the 2026 RAI will be eligible to present a case study and to take part in a series of events and learning opportunities throughout the event.
The programme will include:
Opening party
Evening event/exhibition launch to include the announcement of the front runners in the Regenerative Architecture Index 2026

A free walk-in for all built environment professionals and the general public listing all RAI member organisations along with a curated selection of relevant case studies. The exhibition will be open to construction professionals and the public from Monday to Friday 9am–6pm throughout October.
