Desire an Irresistible Circular Society

You become a better architectural designer when you understand the people whom you design for. When the users of a certain place are already involved in the early phases of urban development, this creates value. Both for the users and for the building owner – as well as for the architect. However, this calls for a different kind of process – and especially for prioritization. So sounds the word emanating from a number of Danish architectural design studios that have been active in the Desire project, Desire an Irresistible Circular Society - one of six New European Bauhaus projects, and the first to finish. You can read more below in Vibeke Grupe's post and follow the link in the comments to read the text in English. #neweuropeanbauhaus #builtenvironment #design #eugreendeal

Well, you already know it - Desire an Irresistible Circular Society ended last Saturday, November the 30th. It has been a bit more than 2 years of incredible co-creations, experimentations, demonstrations, reflections, discussions, evaluations and learnings. It feels a bit sad… 😥 But we are still a community, we are still part of a much bigger community of NEB lighthouse projects and of the New European Bauhaus - we all have the same dreams, the same wishes, although we do things differently. 👉 Last week, the coordinators of the first six New European Bauhaus lighthouse projects met in Lisbon to talk about what comes beyond - replicability, implementation, scaling. Desire is the first of the six projects to finish. We have so much to share, so many learnings, insights, results and plans for the future. It was reassuring to learn that there is a keen interest from the other projects to follow what comes beyond Desire and to keep us on the loop for sharing and exchanging learnings. ✨ Therefore, it is fair to say that although Desire an Irresistible Circular Society as a project has come to an end, the movement hasn’t. Desire took off based on a vision about creating a movement for urban transformation within the planetary boundaries, embedded in hope and irresistibility. 🌲 Being part of a much bigger movement, the New European Bauhaus, we will continue to support the Desire ambition by meeting, sharing, discussing, reflecting and evolving through the Irresistible Cities Lab, a community of practitioners for city-makers. 👋 So, meet us there - and stay tuned at the website for updates on activities...

🌟The Desire project - Desire an Irresistible Circular Society - has come to an end, and it is with great pleasure that the 24 partners of the Desire project now present all results, recommendations, and tools on our website, which we now call the Digital Learning Hub 🌟 We have shown that the 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲, 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘃𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲: 𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁. We have learned that real, lasting transformation comes from 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲-𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲, where collaboration among designers, artists, architects, municipalities, and local communities can play an important role. In summary, it is about three things: 👉 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 👉 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗨𝗿𝗯𝗮𝗻 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗢𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 👉 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗔𝗿𝘁, 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻   On the learning hub, we also share the great work of the eight demonstration projects in five countries (Denmark, Latvia, The Netherlands, Slovenia and Italy) with stories, videos and images.

Today we proudly presented our findings and recommendations to policymakers in the European Parliament of the Desire an Irresistible Circular Society project: a path to just and clean transition. In the buildt environment we DESIRE in the future, diverse stakeholders and experts will need to work together, incorporating the sustainable principles #movement #belonging #circularity #bidiversity #aesthetics to achieve sustainability and climate goals. Top down and bottom up approaches will be needed. The DESIRE EU project has transformed the way we work and think. It is a new license to operate. We are committed to sharing this knowledge with our members and the wider society. Thx to all partners involved in the project! Looking forwards for new collaboration and knowledge sharing.

What if citizens are part of the local changes, together with the local authority? What if we work with and not for our communities? What if politicians let citizens take responsibility for their local area? These were some of the questions that Diana Krabbendam from the Wilderman neighbourhood in Amsterdam brought up at the Desire an Irresistible Circular Society event at the European Parliament. Important questions and important learnings from our Amsterdam activities. Thank you, MEP Rasmus Nordqvist and Henriette Thuen for organising this hand-over here in Brussels a few weeks before Desire an Irresistible Circular Society comes to an end. Lots of interesting questions and topics to be taken on forwards!
