Oliver Broadbent1851 Fellow in Regenerative DesignOliver studied Chemistry at The University of Oxford, Civil Engineering at Imperial College London, and worked as an engineer at Expedition before helping to establish Think Up. In 2018 he started his own company, Constructivist; continuing the conversation on sustainability, regenerative design, the climate and biodiversity emergency and creativity.James NormanProfessor of Sustainable DesignJames studied Civil Engineering at the University of Nottingham, before completing his PhD at the University of Bristol. While working for Whitbybird he continued to teach structural design. He worked on a wide variety of projects - from the facade of the Tate Modern extension to a small glass table at the Tate St Ives - before becoming a full-time academic at the University of Bristol in 2015. In 2020, he was awarded a National Teaching Fellowship.

"The authors have done the general reader a great service by digesting a huge amount of material - particularly on systems thinking - and synthesising it into a coherent case. The book is illustrated with excellent case studies where structural engineers have played a pivotal role in aiming higher in the system to create new business enterprises. I commend the authors for engaging with this challenge so effectively."Michael Pawlyn, Exploration Architecture, and co-author of Flourish"I especially appreciated the structure used to organize the book (the bookshelf metaphor), it made it very tangible and clear... and the case studies are fabulous."Lindsay Baker, CEO, International Living Future Institute"The regenerative structural engineer is a strong call to action for all built environment professionals to implement systems thinking; from changing their mindsets, thinking deeply about the source of materials to reimagining design such that we not only live in harmony with nature but regenerate and revive it for future generations" Prof. Anusha Shah, President, ICE
