Lotte M. Bjerregaard Jensen, Professor at Aarhus School of Architecture, considers regenerative building a fundamental shift in our perspective on nature - from a raw material to an active partner. Buildings should not be viewed as isolated structures but as parts of complex, living systems. According to her, this requires a far more holistic and interdisciplinary approach. Architects must collaborate with ecologists, geologists, and other professionals to understand the natural processes of a given site. At the same time, the regenerative paradigm challenges existing standards because the solutions are radically site-specific.

She also mentions a changing role for the architect that suddenly becomes a link within local supply chains but also has to work closely with materials, landscapes, and local communities. For Lotte M. Bjerregaard Jensen the transition is ultimately about a major paradigm shift: building less, building accurately—and sometimes not building at all.
