NEW bauhaus innovation festival in Weimar

Overview

The NEW bauhaus innovation festival was scheduled to take place in Weimar on September 2 and 3, 2026. The event aimed to bring together over 400 participants from fields including architecture, science, and politics to discuss social transformation, artificial intelligence, and housing challenges.

During the festival, researchers and designers showcased sustainable construction methods focused on a circular economy. Notable demonstrations included a process using bacteria to repurpose crushed old bricks into new solid structures. This biological method operates at room temperature, avoiding the high-temperature kilns used in traditional brick production. Other discussions centered on utilizing agricultural residues, straw, and waste products to create functional building components.
