Abstract Creating positive impact buildings requires setting clear definitions to accelerate the innovation process. A definition can increase the built environments’ positive impact on people, planet and economy by designing regenerative and circular buildings. We are on the verge of paradigm shift that challenges the traditional and linear resource centred thinking. The impact reduction paradigm of the linear extract, make, use and dispose process is confronted with a new paradigm that is about maintaining products and services at their highest value, then recovering and regenerating them. In this chapter, we will explain both paradigms and bring ideas and definitions that can help the reader to adopt a new way of thinking into new design and construction models.
