What does it mean to think of humans as part of the global ecosystem?
This summer, I had the opportunity to interview Sukumar Natarajan, head of the RENEW research centre [ @renew_uob ] at @bathenganddes / @uniofbath for the 24th Issue of @paperspace.magazine .
What started as a discussion about incorporating regenerative design at a student project level, evolved into deeper discussion about shifting narratives and humans as nature.

A glimpse from our RENEW Away Day, half a day of team-building activities at Bath City Farm who were an amazing host, and the second half developing our centre’s manifesto. Lot’s of hard work of farming in the sun to help keep the pond area clean and tidy. Also petting some friendly animals, we loved the ponies! 🐏 🐄 🐣
Please Join our RENEW member Emma Emanuelsson - Patterson for a virtual panel discussion on the future of women and inclusivity in chemical engineering 20th June 3pm UK time.
Discover challenges faced by female academics and engineers, and explore ways in which engineering can be more inclusive. Our panel of experts will discuss biases, stereotypes, and underrepresentation, providing insights and actionable solutions for a more equitable future.

Join Our Symposium!!
We will be welcoming our RENEW Global Chairs Arild Gustavsen and Adelle Thomas at the University of Bath on their visit from June 10th-12th. RENEW will be holding a research Symposium on Tuesday the 11th, which will be open to all. Our Chairs will be giving talks along with our Centre Director Sukumar Natarajan and host and Place-making lead Aoife Houlihan Wiberg. We will also have a poster session to showcase some of the research going on in the department. Come along and be part of the excitement!

Recycling tyres? What benefits can we reap from recycling tyres in the construction industry? Many, as shown today by Dr. Malgorzata Pajak, our visiting speaker from the Silesian University of Technology, Poland, hosted by our own member Dr. Taghried Abdel-Magid. Dr. Pajak gave an exciting talk on using a by-product of recycled tyres in FRC “Application of the recycled steel fibres in concrete structures subjected to dynamic and quasi-static loadings”, this is yet another example of regenerating resources in engineering practices.

So what is Regenerative Engineering and Design? Glimpses of the RENEW Manifesto Mind Meld, where specialists came together from different sectors of academia and industry to put together the research centre’s manifesto, to define our scope, challenges, goals, and to achieve a holistic understanding of Regenerative Engineering and Design.
Stay tuned for our centre’s Manifesto

RENEW’s book club, discussing the concept of REGENERATION and Regenerative Design, in preparation of writing the centre’s manifesto..
The list of books was:
Flourish - Regenerative Leadership - How Buildings Learn - Prosperity without growth - Biomimicry in Architecture - Thinking in Systems - The Book of Wilding
So what is a porous medium? From Prof. Murilo’s lecture at #RENEW watch the whole lecture at https://youtu.be/AW2kTJbPHFI #universityofbath #designengineering #regenerativedesign
The first lecture organised by RENEW. Professors Murilo’s exciting talk about “A deep journey into the permeability assessment of key engineering materials”
What do a face mask, a concrete wall, a fertilizer grain, a packaging film, a catalytic filter, and a tissue scaffold have in common?
Prof. Murilo currently holds the positions of professor in the graduation course of Chemical Engineering, and senior researcher and coordinator of the Postgraduate Program in Environmental Technology at the University of Ribeirão Preto (UNAERP), Brazil. Stay posted for more videos. #chemicalengineering #engineeringdesign #universityofbath #renew
RENEW away day..a whole day of brainstorming and team work. We learned a lot from sharing expertise. Thanks to everyone who joined us from outside the research centre too. #renew #research #universityofbath #regenerativedesign #architecture #civilengineering
