Regenerative Places: Designing a Sustainable Future
With Tara Gbolade and Lanre Gbolade

This talk explores the concept of regenerative places-places that go beyond sustainability to actively restore and revitalise their environments, communities, and ecosystems. Drawing from Gbolade Design Studio’s award-winning range of work in sustainable architecture and place shaping, and their insights into how innovative design and forward-thinking strategies can transform the built environment to meet the urgent challenges of our time. Centring on regenerative principles in all aspects of the built environment, three themes will be discussed. 

Net zero housing. Residential projects placing net-zero housing as a cornerstone of regenerative design that doesn’t compromise on quality or aesthetics.

Placemaking and community. Mixed-use regeneration projects and urban design which integrates nature, public spaces, and heritage to cultivate vibrant, inclusive neighbourhood. And how architecture can empower communities and create a strong sense of place.

Retrofitting for a Resilient Future. Retrofit project(s) that prioritise decarbonisation transform underutilised structures into energy-efficient, community-focused spaces.

Gbolade Design. Studio’s work demonstrates that by prioritising innovation, collaboration, and a commitment to sustainability, we can create places that not only minimise harm but actively contribute to ecological, social, and economic renewal for future generations.
