Networking with LIFE Bauhausing Europe in the search for joint contributions

Responsible for the LIFE Wood for Future and Bauhausing Europe projects had a first meeting to discover in detail aspects of these ambitious LIFE projects. Different commonalities were found between the two projects, such as the opportunity to use certified local wood for building renovations and outdoor spaces and for the implementation of the new European Bauhaus.

The LIFE Bauhausing Europe project aims to demonstrate the New European Bauhaus approach applied to the integral renovation of public buildings and to initiate a transformation process in European neighborhoods in 5 cities: Cartagena and Blanca in Spain, Adazi in Latvia, Varazdin in Croatia and Erzsebetvaros in Hungary.

The New European Bauhaus is an initiative promoted by the European Commission that combines a multilevel, participatory and transdisciplinary approach to guide the path of transformation towards more sustainable, aesthetic and inclusive communities. Through LIFE Bauhausing Europe, the project partners will demonstrate that this approach is suitable for the transformation of any territory, regardless of its size, rural or urban character, urban challenges or degradation processes suffered.

The project consortium is formed by the local authorities of these 5 municipalities, which will be accompanied by other partners with a technical profile and a varied multidisciplinary profile: the School of Architecture and Building of the Polytechnic University of Cartagena, the energy consulting firm Ekodoma, the Green Building Council of Croatia, the Budapest art hub Pro-Progresione and EuroVértice, as the entity in charge of establishing the methodology of participation and coordination of the project.
