New European Bauhaus Award
The new European Bauhaus is an emerging movement that calls on activists, designers, artists, students, scientists, engineers, companies, institutions, policy makers and all other stakeholders to contribute to the creation of interdisciplinary projects and more comprehensive solutions by exchanging ideas, knowledge and needs. .
The idea of the award is based on the ambition to make the Green Deal a cultural, human-centered, positive and tangible experience. So we are talking about the implementation of the Green Agreement in everyday life - in buildings, in public places, in fashion, in furniture, in lifestyle and the like. The new European Bauhaus movement calls for change and reflection on green and digital challenges and for finding innovative solutions to complex societal problems.
The objectives of the initiative are:
- inclusion, which represents the creation of more affordable and accessible living spaces in the future,
- design sustainable living and the circulation of materials,
- improving the quality of life, without neglecting functionality and comfort.
The new European Bauhause 2021 is being implemented in three phases: as co-creation (co-design phase), implementation (delivery phase) and dissemination.
The co-design phase lasted from October 2020 to June 2021. The phase was based on the collection of examples, ideas, concepts and concepts that combine all three goals: sustainability, inclusion, quality of life.
The delivery phase started in September 2021. The phase includes the design and implementation of pilot projects supported by specific calls for proposals.
The dissemination phase is the last phase, which will start from 2023 onwards. The phase will include the dissemination of good ideas in Europe and beyond, knowledge sharing and networking. Cooperation with citizens is crucial.
The New European Bauhaus Award for the first phase distinguishes ten categories:
I. Construction and design techniques, materials and procedures
(solutions are being sought for a built environment that would help mitigate climate change, protect the environment and provide more affordable and inclusive places)
II. Construction according to the concept of rotation
(finding examples of places to recycle and reuse materials in construction, emphasizing the circulation of materials as a central element of the European Green Agreement)
III. Solutions for the co-development of the built environment and nature
(Examples are sought to illustrate how the built environment contributes to the protection of nature and biodiversity, taking into account cultural and social needs)
IV. Renovated urban and rural areas
(We are looking for examples of renovation of territories that have been oriented sustainably and aesthetically and developed with the participation and active participation of all stakeholders)
V. Products and lifestyle
(We are looking for products and processes that contribute to a sustainable, attractive and inclusive lifestyle. This category covers elements of our everyday life: fashion, furniture, interior design, food, etc.)
VI. Preserved and changed cultural heritage
(We are looking for models of exemplary preservation of cultural heritage, models of improved access to cultural heritage for all, models with a lower carbon footprint and the like)
VII. Redesigned meeting and exchange venues
(examples are being sought that exemplify the transformation of areas (centers, gardens, streets, squares, parks, etc.) for the purpose of exchanging positive experiences, co-creation and creation)
VIII. Mobilization of culture, art and community
(Examples are sought that contribute to the sustainable development of the community. Examples may include events, festivals, cultural events and other community-building events. Themes should be based on the Green Agreement, social inclusion or focus on strengthening social cohesion and developing a sense of shared ownership of the space)
IX. Modular, flexible and mobile living solutions
(Innovative approaches to housing are sought, but must include the concept of sustainability and high standards of aesthetics)
X. Interdisciplinary educated models
(We are looking for innovative educational models, methods and training that include all three goals in the curriculum and learning process: sustainability, inclusion, aesthetics)
In each of the above categories, prizes are awarded for two sets:
- for existing projects already completed,
- for concepts and ideas developed by young people up to 30 years of age.
The winner in each category receives:
- € 30,000 and communication package with the media,
- € 15,000 and communication package with the media.
The European Commission decides on the winners on the basis of the prescribed criteria and arranges for the awarding of prizes to the winners.
The application deadline for the New European Bauhaus Prize for the first phase has expired in June 2021.
The deadline for the second phase will be open from September 2021 to 25 January 2022 as part of the Horizon Europe call.
However, the deadline for the third phase has not yet been announced, so it is necessary to follow the announcements and calls on the website. All information on funding opportunities must also be regularly monitored on the prize website.
In the spring of 2022, a festival of the new European Bauhaus will be organized in Brussels for the first time. The festival will include:
- a forum for discussions,
- space for fairs - for exhibition of projects, prototypes, technologies, products and the like,
- cultural program for the general public.
