This book aims to provide bases for reasoning on what opportunities the regenerative approaches to urban-architectural design and development can bring to our territories and living systems (environment, society, city and learning).
Emanuele Giorgi - Director of Research and Professor at the School of Architecture, Art and Design of the Tecnológico de Monterrey. He develops teaching and research activities on the issues of communities and sustainable territorial development. He has a PhD in Civil Engineering and Architecture obtained at the University of Pavia (Italy). He is director of the "Design for Vulnerables - Technology Challenge" research project focused on design solutions for Mexican vulnerable communities. In 2020 he published with Springer the book "The Co-Housing Phenomenon. Environmental Alliance in Times of Changes" and in 2022, with Springer again, the edited book "Design for Vulnerable Communities".

His research focuses on architectural design as a process to create and regenerate environments addressing contemporary conditions such as climate change, globalization, technology and urbanization. Within his international cooperation, Tiziano has been leading and co-leading research, exhibitions, workshops and scientific meetings and is collaborating on a number of projects with international institutions and organizations in Europe, China and recently in Mexico in the field of shared landscape, urban resilience and sustainable communities.
Carlos Cobreros - Phd. in Engineering, Master in Architecture, Master in "Architecture, Energy and Environment", Diploma in "Bioenvironmental Design" and Architect. Research Professor at the School of Architecture, Art and Design of the Tecnológico de Monterrey, and part of the national system of researchers in México. He has taught postgraduate courses as a visiting professor at the Autonomous University of Querétaro in México, Universidad de La Salle Bajío, Aalto University and the University of Seville, Spain. Part of the Research Group "Sustainable Development of the Territory", he co-coordinates the postgraduate Diploma in "Regenerative Design. Resilient Territories and Cities" and coordinates the Minor Degree in Regenerative Design. Also, he coordinates the NatRural lab program of research, thinking and regenerative and systemic design. His design, teaching and research are focused on sustainable and regenerative design, natRural design, biophilic design and access to nature and regenerative learning, from social innovation, fundamentally in contexts with a high degree of vulnerability and emerging natural and rural contexts.
