New European Bauhaus

The original Bauhaus movement, founded in Germany in 1919, marked a radical departure from traditional approaches to architecture and design. Its vision was to integrate art, craftsmanship, and technology into a unified, holisticpractice — where function and aesthetics were inseparable.

At its core, Bauhaus placed the human experience at the centre, aiming to shape modern life through thoughtful and accessible design.

Today, more than a century later, this vision is being reinterpreted through the European Union’s New European Bauhaus (NEB) initiative, launched as a culturaland creative dimension of the European Green Deal.

While the historical Bauhaus responded to the conditions of industrialization, NEB addresses the pressing challenges of climate change and social inequality.

The New European Bauhaus combines aesthetics, sustainability, and social inclusion with the EU’s goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2050. It is a transdisciplinary, participatory initiative that invites citizens, architects, artists, scientists, and policymakers to co-create the sustainable and beautiful living environments of tomorrow.

This movement represents not only a technological and environmental shift but also a cultural transformation — where beauty, community, and sustainability converge in a new, integrated paradigm for the built environment.
