Comunicato stampa

The New European Bauhaus Collateral Event of the 18th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia - 25 and 26 May 2023 titled "Radical yet possible future space solutions."

For the first time, the European Union will be present with an event at the International Architecture Exhibition - La Biennale di Venezia. Following the central theme of the Biennale Architettura 2023, “Laboratory of the Future”, and in line with the mission of the New European Bauhaus, the conference has been designed as a radical, intellectual and practical laboratory of the future.
The event will allow experts, students, and visitors to experiment, discover and design the future with the power of their minds.

The participants will reflect on radical, yet possible, human actions leading to a better use of space and resources. In particular, they will discuss new ways of living, and how to go beyond the conviction that the future of the humankind is bound to already existing solutions.
DAY 1. 25 May
Activation of collective thinking

Six groups of experts and students will join parallel discussions in the “Radical NEB Labs” to work towards collective solutions for a sustainable, inclusive and beautiful future, understood as new ways of living, learning, designing, building, energy and material sourcing.

Please note that only students can apply to participate in the workshops.
