Bauhaus of the Seas Sails: Delta pilot kick-offBauhaus of the Seas Sails: Delta pilot kick-off

Bauhaus of the Seas Sailsis part of the New European Bauhaus, which Bauhaus (NEB) aims at raising a movement based on sustainability, social inclusion, and beauty. The project departs from the realization that the climate crisis is a global, complex hyperobject. NEB intends to foster ethical and aesthetic regenerative developments.

Within NEB, Bauhaus of the Seas focuses on the most critically endangered shared space in the EU and the world: seas, oceans and water bodies. Oceans face numerous challenges, from plastic pollution to rising sea levels. Finding solutions to the various environmental problems is a real challenge. This can be done by mobilising cities & communities close to water. With an interdisciplinary, intergenerational and interspecific approach, this meaningful multi-year project aims to instigate change.

The Delta pilot comprises two distinct locations: Grenspark Groot Saeftinghe, representing a rural landscape, and the Rotterdam area, embodying urban characteristics. Both environments have social and spatial challenges that come with a fast-changing climate and political realities that impact on their social fabric. The partners are: TU Delft, Grenspark Groot Saeftinghe, Vereniging Delta Metropool and Nieuwe Instituut.

This event is part of the Rotterdam Architecture Month programme, which takes place in and around the Museumpark throughout the month of June. See our other activities.
