BNIM Regenerative Design Challenge delivers beautiful, integrated, living environments that inspire change and enhance the human condition. Their instrumental development of the USGBC, LEED, and the Living Building concept, combined with projects, methods and research, shaped the direction of the sustainable movement. Through this involvement, the firm has redefined design excellence to elevate human experience together with aesthetics and building performance. In practice, this multifaceted design excellence has yielded national acclaim, including the AIA National Architecture Firm Award, and consistent design recognition nationally and internationally. BNIM would like its gift to the College of Design to reflect this expertise.
The BNIM Regenerative Design Challenge supports multidisciplinary faculty research in the areas of sustainability and regenerative design. Regenerative design is a systems-based methodology that attempts to restore, renew, and revitalize. Regenerative design attempts to provide measurable net positive impacts to humanity and the planet.
