Contemporary society - with the multiple challenges it faces, whether climate change, the scarcity of natural resources or global warming - now has a new opportunity with the launch of the New European Bauhaus Project.
This new version of the European ecological pact, within the framework of the European Union's cohesion policy, is an invitation to change, to think of new ways of facing ecological and digital challenges. It is an invitation to change the way we experience this new reality that is transforming our perception of the world. We begin to look more deeply at what surrounds us.
We live in a time when it is necessary to find innovative solutions, entrepreneurial and sustainable ideas that breathe creativity and art. Portugal is listed as the fifth country in the European Union in a situation of energy poverty (Eurostat, 2020). People have less economic conditions to keep their homes properly heated, and electricity continues to be the main source of energy consumed nationally.
We must have the ability to feel the world in its originality, respect its nature and understand it through our senses. This is achieved through the integration of the automatic mechanisms of a space that simplifies people's daily lives, satisfying the needs of safety and comfort.
The New European Bauhaus Project is an initiative that aims to design new ways of life, social inclusion, mobilizing a collective effort to build a sustainable future, creating a bridge between art and culture, science and technology
This is an opportunity to improve the quality of life, giving priority to sustainable materials, with simple functionality, which add value without compromising the need for comfort and quality in our daily lives. The New Bauhaus is, without a doubt, an invitation to experience connections between thinkers and entrepreneurs, which aims to transform our lives through the combination of art and science.
One of the main reasons that Portugal occupies a place at the top of the list of energy poverty, has to do with the low quality of construction of buildings. It is urgent to prioritize more sustainable buildings, rehabilitate and finance measures that promote rehabilitation, decarbonization, energy efficiency, water efficiency and the circular economy, contributing to the improvement of the energy and environmental performance of existing buildings, so that there is a significant reduction of primary energy consumption in the serviced buildings.
Currently, a more comfortable, more sustainable and exclusive lifestyle involves choosing an aesthetic solution. Aesthetics is modeled on human aspects and not on the correspondence with some criterion of beauty.
Society increasingly demands integrated solutions in the fields of creativity, beauty, culture, science and technology, and "smart cities" are already growing all over the world to meet some challenges, such as waste control, LED public lighting, air quality indicators, noise levels, different forms of mobility. Basically, looking for unique, original and specialized solutions that meet its needs in buildings to be built.
Therefore, it is up to each of us, as individuals, to opt for more innovative technical solutions so that society can move forward more quickly with projects and strategies to protect the world around us. Moreover, to contribute to the control of energy consumption in the correct use of natural resources, in the well-being of the individual and in the society of which we are a part of.
To take advantage of the New Bauhaus to invest in more efficient buildingsand, to change our perspective towards optimizing consumption, more controlled energy costs and aesthetic solutions.
We are moving towards aisthesis, the art of feeling deeply, so that we can create solutions that are consistent with beauty. And it is only through culture, art, poetry, the commitment to cultural growth, that people, companies, cities and countries will be able to grow and innovate.
It is through the connection of the world of art and science that we can grow, be more competitive and gain economic value.
