In the built environment we DESIRE in the future, diverse stakeholders and experts will need to work together, incorporating the sustainable principles #movement #belonging #circularity #bidiversity and #aesthetics to achieve sustainability and climate goals. Top down and bottom up approaches will be needed.

Desire is one of six New European Bauhaus lighthouse projects, and the first to finish. The project has transformed the way we work and think. It is a new license to operate.
