30 Years of Building for Regeneration
For nearly three decades, we’ve been defining and advancing the idea of “living buildings”—structures that are self-sufficient, resilient, and ecologically elegant. These lessons now shape the foundation of our teaching.
The School was born from lived experience: a deep investigation into what works, what heals, and what sustains. We teach not just what’s new—but what’s next.
