Deadline: 31-May-21
Nominations are now open for the New European Bauhaus Prizes 2021 to accelerate the green transition, contribute to the recovery and to ensure a better living together for all, and to capitalize on the existing wealth of knowledge, experience, and capacities as much as to call for new visions, new ideas, and new solutions.
The 2021 Prizes will be part of and represent the culmination of the first phase of the New European Bauhaus, which is focused on design and engagement. They will recognize and celebrate existing achievements and support the younger generation to further develop emerging concepts and ideas. They will give visibility to examples and concepts that illustrate how the triangle of sustainability, aesthetics and inclusion has already been translated in our territories, our communities and in our practices, or that pave the way to the future.
Objectives
Its objective is to articulate, in an innovative way, three key dimensions:
- sustainability (including circularity),
- aesthetics (and other dimensions of the quality of experience beyond functionality)
- inclusion (including accessibility and affordability)
Categories
To contribute to beautiful, sustainable and inclusive places, they look for:
- Techniques, materials and processes for construction and design
- Building in a spirit of circularity
- Solutions for the co-evolution of built environment and nature
