Gauri: In 2016, your critically acclaimed work “Designing Regenerative Cultures” was published. This interview was held by Gauri and Shubham for the GRIHA Council, Indias Green Building Council focussed on ‘Integrated Habitat Assessment’: His first book, Designing Regenerative Cultures, was published by Triarchy Press (UK) in May, 2016. Daniel has published a wide range of articles and academic papers on ecological design and biomimicry since 2003. He has worked with local and national governments on climate change impact, foresight and futures. Daniel originally trained as a biologist (University of Edinburgh, 1996 & University of California, 1995), holds an MSc in Holistic Science (Schumacher College, 2001) and gained his PhD in Design for Human and Planetary Health from the University of Dundee in 2006.
