Twenty Years of The Living Building Challenge (free report)

The Twenty Years of The Living Building Challenge report celebrates the pioneering people, projects, and partnerships that have shaped this journey from an audacious vision to the greenest building standard in the world. Through compelling stories, landmark projects, striking photography, and insights from those who have helped advance the movement, this commemorative report explores the ideas, innovations, and collective determination that have transformed the built environment and continue to push its boundaries.

More than a look back, the report is an invitation to look forward. It demonstrates that regenerative design is not simply an aspiration, but an achievable reality, with lessons and solutions that can be applied across building types, communities, and regions. It celebrates how far the movement has come while making the case for how much further it can go.

The first twenty years of the Living Building Challenge established what is possible. The next twenty will be shaped by those who choose to take part. Join us!
