ELIA Welcomes New European Bauhaus Initiative

Today ELIA, represented by Vice-President Jørn Mortensen, and partner networks met with a delegation from the European Commission to discuss the next steps for the recently announced New European Bauhaus initiative.

The invitation followed the statement ‘The New European Bauhaus. Making the Renovation Wave a Cultural Project’, co-published by the representative European organisations of architects, spatial planners, landscape architects, interior architects, engineers, designers, artists, educators and researchers of the built environment. ELIA, together with ACE, ECIA, ECTP, EAAE and IFLA Europe, welcomes the new initiative and is especially in support of a holistic approach to the built environment in which culture is central for the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
