Desire an Irresistible Circular Society

How do we take the green transition to the next level?

In the Desire project, we believe that making the green transition desirable and irresistible is key when it comes to changing how we build and live in cities. We will initiate a movement that sets new standards for making more sustainable, inclusive, and beautiful spaces.

Desire is part of the European Commission's New European Bauhaus initiative to bridge the worlds of art, architecture, culture, and education with science and technology in the green transition.

From the start, we have developed a manifest with five design principles. We test them at eight existing demonstration sites in Denmark (Herlev, Høje-Taastrup, and Kalundborg), in Italy (Milan and Turin), and in The Netherlands (Amsterdam), Slovenia (Ljubljana), and Latvia (Riga).

We work with themes: Creating social and inclusive housing, transforming through symbiotic relationships, and reconciling cities with nature.
