Great discussion today at the New European Bauhaus Festival on the legacy of the NEB Lighthouse projects ✨

Representing Living Future Europe within the EHHUR project, Carlo Battisti shared a key takeaway:

👉 the challenge is no longer ambition — it is implementation.

Across Europe, communities, cities and practitioners are ready for transformation.
Now we need:
🔹 integrated governance
🔹 enabling procurement
🔹 capacity-building
🔹 and long-term systemic thinking

We also presented two EHHUR “gems”:
✨ the EHHUR Methodology
✨ the DSS Tool for integrated urban transition pathways

Thank you to all the NEB Lighthouse projects and speakers for the inspiring exchange 💛💙

Affordable housing should not mean low-performance housing.

As Europe advances the European Affordable Housing Plan, housing providers are facing increasing pressure to deliver more homes — faster, at lower cost, and under growing sustainability requirements.

But affordability, quality, health, and long-term resilience should not be treated as competing priorities.

We’re glad to collaborate with European Federation for Living (EFL) for this upcoming webinar hosted by Carlo Battisti, President of Living Future Europe, exploring how the Living Future Affordable Housing Framework can support more regenerative, healthy, and future-proof housing approaches across Europe.

🌿 Tomorrow in Brussels: The Materials Matter Summit

As Europe advances its green and just transition, the materials we build with are increasingly recognized as critical to human health, environmental resilience, and the future of our built environment.

On **10 June**, architects, designers, researchers, policymakers, manufacturers, material innovators, and sustainability leaders will gather for **The Materials Matter Summit: From Innovation to Collective Practice**, a New European Bauhaus Festival Satellite Event hosted by Living Future Europe and Brightworks Sustainability.

Together, we'll explore:

♻️ Bio-based and regenerative materials
♻️ Circular and reused material systems
🌱 Healthy and low-toxicity interiors
🛠 Local craftsmanship and resilient supply chains
💡 Material transparency and digital innovation
🏛 Policy, procurement, and implementation challenges

We're honoured to welcome contributors and perspectives from:

Future Europe
Sustainability



European Commission

Featuring speakers including:

• **Pieter Staelens — European Commission**
• **Thomas Osdoba — Director, NetZeroCities**
• **Joanna Kiernicka-Allavena — Deputy Director, NetZeroCities**
• **Jean-Luc Wietor — Head of Buildings, ECOS**
• **Estelle Schurer — Gensler**
• **Carlo Battisti — Living Future Europe**

In just 2 days, the Material Matters Summit will bring together voices from across architecture, manufacturing, sustainability, policy and design to explore one of the most urgent questions facing the built environment today:

How can materials help drive the transition towards a healthier, circular and regenerative future?

Hosted during the New European Bauhaus Festival 2026 in Brussels, the summit will open conversations around regenerative design, healthy materials, embodied carbon, transparency and innovation across the construction sector.

From emerging material solutions to collective action and implementation challenges, the event creates space for dialogue between the people actively shaping the future of the built environment in Europe.

There’s still time to join us.
