Bauhaus Of The Seas
Bauhaus of the Seas was created in 2020 in response to the European Commission's New European Bauhaus concept which addresses the climate catastrophe as a multifaceted issue caused by the human-nature split.
It emphasises a broad, collaborative approach across disciplines, generations, and species to successfully handle this massive challenge.
Bauhaus of the Seas evolved towards a mobilisation around the most definitive global natural space and the most critical shared space in the EU and the world: the seas, oceans and other water bodies.
