EXPLORATION & RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES<br />
1. Design Exploration<br />
a. Identify projects which have already established a goal of advanced<br />
stormwater mitigation.<br />
b. Take the design team for a walk in your local forest.<br />
c. Invite biomimicks and/or biologists to the design table.<br />
d. Explore existing tools like AskNature.org, to gain knowledge about<br />
local ecosystem mentors which are applicable to your project.<br />
e. Try a strategy never done before and collect data for the rest of the<br />
industry to learn from—be the first to begin transforming the way<br />
we build buildings to support restorative cities, not just better ones.<br />
