For the first time, the European Union will be present with a Collateral Event at the Architecture Biennale. The New European Bauhaus (NEB) conference will feature a number of high-level speakers including European Commission’s President Ursula von der Leyen, Commissioner for Cohesion and Reforms Elisa Ferreira, social entrepreneur and activist Alexandra Mitsotaki, architects Rem Koolhaas, Shigeru Ban and Bjarke Ingels, and many others. 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 humankind is only linked to solutions that already exist.
