The New European Bauhaus festival will run from 9 to 13 June 2026 at Brussels Parc du Cinquantenaire under the theme “Life. Spaces. Buildings.” The biennial event brings together architects and designers from Europe and beyond to show how the built environment can foster community, strengthen resilience, and improve competitiveness for the clean transition. Activities centered on democratic engagement focus on affordable housing as a basis for inclusive societies, with practical examples of citizen involvement in shaping communities. The New European Bauhaus is a transdisciplinary movement inspired by the Bauhaus art school, connecting science, technology, art, and culture. The festival emphasizes materiality, circular consumption, rented modular structures, and reuse of custom-produced elements, routing non-reusable materials back into recycling loops.
"The third edition of the New European Bauhaus festival takes place from 9-13 June, at Brussels Parc du Cinquantenaire, under the theme 'Life. Spaces. Buildings'. The festival, returning every two years, connects architects and designers from Europe and beyond to show how the built environment can foster community, strengthen resilience, and boost competitiveness to drive the clean transition."
"For the 2026 edition, activities focusing on democratic engagement explore affordable housing as a foundation for inclusive societies, showing practical examples of how citizens can be involved in shaping their communities."
"Since 2020, it bridges science, technology, art and culture, placing together architects, designers, and urban planners to share their best practices in democratic design focused on people, craft, and durability."
"Circular consumption is manifested physically through rented modular structures and the reuse of custom-produced elements, ensuring that any non-reusable materials are funneled back into the recycling loop."
