Urban environments generation. Technological issues for adaptive re-use

The second edition of the BEYOND ALL LIMITS conference aims to address the issue of sustainability within the current international debate marked by the multifaceted response to the pandemic situation. So, the objectives of this scientific and multidisciplinary conference, spanning the fields of architecture, planning and design, were declined according to the principles of the New European Bauhaus (NEB). Therefore, I would like to elaborate on one of the new initiatives that the Union is betting on for the coming years: the New European Bauhaus. That is an initiative will allow us not only o imagine, but also to build a "Beautiful, Sustainable, Together" future that is, an ambitious project capable of incorporating beauty, sustainability and participation in re-thinking public space, buildings and our cities. The New Bauhaus prefigured from the historical Bauhaus, the Weimer Bauhaus of the 1920s, which transformed bourgeois society and culture through the improvement and enhancement of objects, spaces, buildings and cities. The initiative retained the interdisciplinary and transversal soul of its inspiring art movement, the only one capable of providing effective and creative responses to the challenges before us.
