Regenerative Design focuses on a holistic restoration of the natural and built environments and examines how our designs can have a positive impact on where we live and work. Virtual Design and Pedagogy explores the role that new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality can play in revolutionizing learning.
