New European Bauhaus (NEB) integrates multi-level engagement and a transdisciplinary approach to transform the places we live into more beautiful, sustainable, and inclusive using participatory processes.

Following the three principles of the New European Bauhaus - inclusion, beauty and sustainability - the LIFE Bauhausing Europe project will ‘re-imagine’ five public buildings and their surrounding in five European cities.
Using an innovative methodology, the project works with potential or current users of these buildings to identify their needs, which are then shared with a panel of experts who use their findings to design the basis for an open contest for renovation projects. Improving energy efficiency is one of the technical requirements to be included in the tender documents.

Housing represents a cornerstone of human well-being. Ensuring accessibility and efficiency not only enhances quality of life but also paves the way for economic resilience and social cohesion. The European Union has set policies, initiatives, and financial instruments to reach these goals.
