Nature’s Architect: The role of Biomimicry in urban design
Conversations at the intersection of regeneration, adaptation and the built environment
This session explores how biomimicry, the practice of drawing inspiration from nature’s time-tested patterns and strategies – can inform the design of urban environments that are efficient, resilient, and harmonious with the natural world.
Amanda Sturgeon, CEO of The Biomimicry Institute, is a Regenerative and Biophilic Design strategist and award winning Architect with global experience as a thought leader in bringing Regenerative, Zero Carbon and Biophilic buildings, infrastructure and cities to life.

A seasoned property developer and outdoor adventurer, Paul is a leading advocate for integrating living landscapes into urban development. Through Nature Based Cities, he champions the inclusion of green spaces in urban design to create cities we love to live in.
Moderated by Danny Almagor, co-founder of Small Giants Academy, this discussion explores the transformative potential of biomimicry in reimagining our cities – not merely as human habitats, but as integrated ecosystems that reflect the wisdom of nature.
