Bauhaus of the Seas Sails
The Bauhaus of the Sea Sails project, funded by the European Union (Horizon Europe), addresses environmental challenges by mobilizing cities close to water. Running from 2022 to 2025, the project collaborates with seven cities (Venice, Hamburg, Lisbon, Oeiras, Malmö, Genova, and Rotterdam), a border park (Grenspark Groot Saeftinghe), universities, and cultural organizations to test new solutions for reviving the relationship between coastal communities and water. The overall aim is to achieve a sustainable and inclusive transition, keeping aesthetics at the center and working with communities. Our partners in each city are implementing innovative activities called “drops” to adapt to sea level rise (Future Tidal Architectures), raise citizens’ awareness of water and marine life (Ocean Literacy), and share cooking skills and recipes that benefit both people and nature (Regenerative Menu), to list but a few of our initiatives. TU Delft leads the Impact Assessment of the project and participates in the Delta pilot, which tests the Future Tidal Architectures drop in the Dutch-Belgian Delta region with partners EGTS Linieland van Waas en Hulst, Het Nieuwe Instituut, and Vereniging Deltametropool. On Impact Assessment, TU Delft has developed an online platform and analytical reports about the impact of the project in each city, which are forthcoming.
