19/11/2020 (Agence Europe) – On Thursday 19 November, several organisations from the construction sector have welcomed the creation of a European Bauhaus and have expressed their willingness to participate in the project (see EUROPE 12581/22). In a joint declaration co-signed by several professions (architects, town planners, landscape architects, interior designers, engineers, designers, teachers and researchers on the built environment), they welcomed the fact that the European Commission is adding a cultural dimension to the economic, social and environmental measures included under the ‘Renovation Wave for Europe’ strategy. “By making this strategy a cultural project, including all stakeholders, and by including architectural quality and design quality as key principles to steer it, the European Commission initiates a fundamental shift. This can be a game-changer in the transition to a more sustainable economy and society and will bring the European Green Deal closer to citizens”, they said. Link: https://bit.ly/36Udu8S (SPj)
