Regenerative Architecture is a professional architectural practice that explores new possibilities for architecture and design in the contemporary world. Recognizing that the Earth's resources are finite, we strive to build in a way that minimizes our impact on it, and we seek to make environments that promote a meaningful and enduring relationship between people and place. We offer an interdisciplinary approach to design that integrates a sensitive, pragmatic commitment to building with a research-oriented attitude towards problem solving.

Shannon Criss and Nils Gore, principals of Regenerative Architecture, each have twenty years of professional experience in the pursuit of these objectives. We have worked in New England, the South and the Midwest. Our work has been shared with a variety of collaborators, on large and small projects, on new and old buildings, in urban and rural settings. We believe in sharing our knowledge with future generations of architects by teaching, and by engaging in research that generalizes knowledge, making it useful to others outside of the particular project.
