On 6th June, the Roca London Gallery will host a panel discussion as part of the new Bio-spaces: Regenerative Resilient Futures exhibition, curated by Planted and Oliver Heath Design.

The discussion will explore how our urban environments would look and feel if nature was part of the architectural design process.

Can we really advocate for nature in the design of our buildings and cities without a human-centric bias?
