NEB Prizes 2023: All Applications

Learning by making: experts, inhabitants and youth co-design and co-renovate one of the poorest areas in France, the Nord and Pas-de-Calais Mining Basin.
Energetic renovation of 25 mining houses as a prototype to adapt for other 40 000 houses.
Climatic architecture with use of bio-geo based materials, participatory building sites with local community (inhabitants, high school students in building trades training, students... ), and experts (architects, engineers, building company).

Together with Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy & Sustainable Economic Development and within National Campaign “Italia in classe A” promoted by the Ministry of the Environment to respond to the national decarbonization challenges of European Green Deal we developed a 80 h course for 17y old girls, to introduce them to the role of engineers for the energy transition in the future paradigm of a sustainable and circular economy. The project responds to SDGs 4 5 7 13

The peat lands in Northern Europe are in extinction and with that the healing power of the black gold. We pass on the natural heritage of our wellbeing and soul, through the development of peat related products, such as our Moorlander (peat) soap. The project aims to develop a physical workshop and education place to restore the feeling of belonging that build on tradition and craftsmanship on natural soap making and other natural health products with peat, such as Moorbad.

The Pollicino Family is probably just one of many who responded positively to the various calls of the medieval era, to define the European borders, and thus build a common identity . Probably from the city of Troyes, in the North of France began a compelling story.
The project aims to reconstruct all the various stages, of the crusades, of the events in the cities to create a historical, epic story, useful for the cohesion of the European peoples today.

It's a place where, for hundreds of years, difficult history has shaped a subtle heritage, now forgotten by the world and time. This is where we create our Station - a place of interpersonal and intergenerational exchange, where you'll be able to squat in order to develop global culture and education on the local ground. It should be a driving force for building a sense of belonging to a small "SLOW" community, but with global values of tolerance for otherness and mitigation of climate change.

Environment Europe Foundation, created by Dr Stanislav Edward Shmelev has produced an initiative that is submitted for the New European Bauhaus Prize. Since 2012, an executive training programme has been set up to educate future leaders in various aspects of sustainable development. As a result, Environment Europe organised 18 executive schools in Ecological Economics, focusing on Ecosystems, Green Economy, Sustainable Cities, ESG Investment, educating participants from 60 countries.

Ancient magical trees are the rooted foundation of this education initiative designed to open the minds and hearts of students to see with new eyes their shared natural heritage through interactive, place-based workshops. The entire community is invited into this joyous journey, as together we explore the ecosystem around us as well as our common historic and folkloric traditions. Together, we commit to a spirit of collaboration to nourish beauty and life for future generations.

The idea is to connect rooftops by bridges and thus create a unique new park –the Bridge Park. That practically creates a new park right there where we need it most – in the heart of the city. If it grows to be sufficiently large, the Bridge Park has the potential to teach city people a whole new way of pedestrian
traffic. It can become a network of green corridors that connects and augments existing parks thus providing uninterrupted, pedestrian-only flow among all parks and
gardens.

This is the studio of architecture and urbanism for children which operates locally, in the small town of Pančevo in Serbia. The main goal is to make unbreakable bonds between town and children, so the children who grow up in it, find out more about it through architecture, fall in love with it and one day make better urbanistic decisions about it. The results are far-reaching and a process is long term, but the children started to think differently and participate actively in the community.

My research on the use of natural processes in design began when I realized that the streets of my neighborhood are full of magnolia leaves in autumn. The question was “Wouldn't it be possible a new life for leaves and bark (waste of bio-resources) before they mix with nature?” So whilst I have decided to use different bio-waste such as magnolia leaves, pine and eucalyptus tree bark, pine tree needles, and more to create experimental materials.
