Michael Pawlyn is the founder of the firm Exploration Architecture and a pioneering architect in regenerative design. His first book Biomimicry in Architecture was, for four years in a row, its publisher's best-selling title, with an updated and expanded second edition published in 2016. He delivers frequent keynotes on innovation and his TED talk has had over 2 million viewings. He has also been profiled in the Financial Times and Wired, and his projects have been featured in The Economist, The Guardian and National Geographic. In 2019, Pawlyn co-initiated Architects Declare / Construction Declares (AD/CD) — a global call to action to declare a climate and biodiversity emergency, which has since launched in 27 countries and is supported by over 6,000 companies. http://exploration-architecture.com/
