Join us for the third edition of the Festival of the New European Bauhaus! For five days, communities, creators and changemakers will come together to celebrate creativity, explore innovative ideas and shape a more inclusive, sustainable and vibrant future.
Buildings and common spaces should be designed around the people who live in them. That’s why we place communities at the heart of the 2026 Festival of the New European Bauhaus. The Festival creates a place to understand people’s needs and aspirations and showcase projects that successfully reflect them. In doing so, it demonstrates how an inclusive, sustainable and high-quality built environment can foster community, strengthen resilience and boost competitiveness.
