New European Bauhaus

Experience La Biennale

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.

Check here the complete programme.
