Episode Links:Marcus's Work: https://www.livingbuildings.co/The animation Marcus and I created together: https://youtu.be/p9HVmU6ZuNQWe Are Carbon - New 'Regen Snapshots' (developing animation templates for social media): https://www.wearecarbon.earth/regenerative-animation-templates-social-media/This episode on the website: https://www.wearecarbon.earth/podcast-episode/regenerative-architecture-evolve-built-environment/------------------In this interview I'm joined by Marcus Jones to explore the role that our built environments can have in moving us towards a more regenerative future.Our homes, our offices; every construction that is put up to protect us from the outdoor elements uses considerable resources to build, maintain and regulate for our comfort.The idea of being regenerative rather than just sustainable with our buildings is a complex one. Directly healing the soil and ecosystems rather than just reducing our impact and extraction needs adds multiple layers for consideration.Though the topics are different we can find many parallels between regenerative agriculture and regenerative architecture.Taking a holistic mindset, shaking up the ideas that we consider normal.Recognising the value of diversity, the context of place, connecting the wellbeing of people to the environment. And not forgetting the power of local community and collaboration.These are all topics that could thread in to any discussion on regeneration.Along with providing for our needs from today's sunlight.That last one is a huge focus in Marcus' work and through his varied career in the building industry, presently with his venture called 'Living Buildings' he's done plenty of out of the box thinking on running our homes on the present year's sun.Regenerative architecture is a relatively small niche, but it belongs to some very passionate people and impactful developments.It was a huge pleasure to have this opportunity to delve in to Marcus' work and thinking's and gain insights into this piece of the regenerative puzzle.

We Are Carbon is the interview show that helps us to recognise that the future of both our planet and our societies can be incredibly beautiful - and that we all play a role in getting there! There's a new episode every Thursday, and they'll average 1 hr long. We see endless headlines warning us of the horrific impact that we're having on the climate and how dire the outlook is, but we're going to re-frame this crisis and start putting the solutions into our own hands. I'm inviting in voices from science, agriculture, business and more, to help us gain an understanding of how we might live in greater harmony with the world around us. How we can build a society where our everyday choices have a positive impact on regenerating and stabilising the planet that we depend upon. Because when the planet and nature are thriving; that's when we can thrive! That's when we can live in a world less focused on fear and restrictions. I don't think that real solutions are ever found until we zoom out, see the full picture and recognise how it all connects together. We can't view climate change as an isolated issue. Our health, our food security, stability of economies and the way we interact with one another, they're are all tied in. The topics can seem expansive, so we're using carbon as a focus. We're exploring some important, and at times complex subjects here. But the whole point is to make this info accessible and transparent to us all. So let me know if there's ever anything that you'd like breaking down or exploring further. Or if there's related topics that you feel should be discussed. Reach out and let's keep this project expanding! And if you're a visual learner, look out for the animations! I'm creating short digestible videos to illustrate some of the key concepts that we're exploring.
