Within this project students designed, optimized and verifyed a regenerative and climate-neutral building applying an iterative design approach.

Regenerative design views buildings as part of a larger living system that helps to restore the natural resources they interact with, e.g., purifying water / air, enhancing biodiversity or generating energy / food / materials on-site and sharing overproduction with the surroundings. Climate neutrality was achieved by designing a building that balances its operational and embodied energy through renewable energy production within a specified timeframe, while also contributing to regeneration efforts.
