Summary
The New European Bauhaus, as closely connected to cultural heritage and culture, brings a cultural and creative dimension to the European Green Deal. The September 2021 Communication on the New European Bauhaus, recognises that artists and cultural and creative professionals are essential actors when it comes to reflecting and conveying values, to transmitting new and symbolic meanings, and to ensuring sustainability and enabling societal transformation.
This topic is focused on innovative solutions for greener and fairer ways of life through arts and culture, architecture and design for all.
Detailed Call Description
Proposals should test, demonstrate and refine innovative solutions to achieve strategic investments in cultural heritage and the CCIs in the spirit of the New European Bauhaus initiative and search for links with the ESFRI Research Infrastructures in the Social and Cultural Innovation.
Proposals should tackle at least one of the thematic axes of the New European Bauhaus. They should include an ambitious and credible executive plan that:
- Identifies and analyses the challenges and resources of the targeted spaces in terms of the three core values of the New European Bauhaus.
- Proposes a set of strategies and methodologies to address the challenges identified, considering the wide variety of actors involved.
- Foresees the development and implementation of an ambitious, quality co-design process, based on citizens’ and stakeholders’ participation, inter-disciplinary, and multi-level collaboration.
They should highlight the social value of cultural heritage and cultural diversity. The proposed solutions should consider:
- Use of renewable materials (e.g. nature-based materials produced sustainably) with a circular economy mind-set
- Role of arts, design and quality architecture, in line with quality principles to leverage the full potential of cultural heritage and cultural landscapes
- Synergies between crafts and new industrial techniques that can also help revitalising traditional skills
- Regeneration, life extension (i.e. smart monitoring, conservation and restoration), re-use and transformation of cultural heritage buildings and landscapes, while ensuring attentive cultural interpretation of the original buildings and respecting their cultural contents and contexts.
The proposed solutions should be replicable under different cultural, political and societal conditions across Europe. Results should be appropriately documented to serve as guidance for actors in other territories and contexts. Proposals should build on existing knowledge, activities, networks and platforms, notably the ones so far funded by the European Union or under the New European Bauhaus initiative.
