Some days I get to work in the big city; others I get to work in the woods – lucky me!
The feeling I get in approaching these two venues couldn’t be more different.
I approach the city excited by the conversations I will have, by the projects we can work on. I grew up in the city. It’s a place I love. But I also increasingly feel the scale of the place and the disconnection from what makes life like this possible.
I approach the wood excited by the calm and the sense of life surrounding me. By the lessons that I know the place can teach me. But I also know how far this place is from where big decisions are made, and far from where many people live.
For me regenerative design is about building a much stronger connection between these two worlds. From where we make and where we take so that both places can thrive.
