Further Information

Much of the quality of life and social cohesion of cities and regions depends on the way that architects, planners, urban designers and landscape architects provide spaces for communities to live and work in.

The collaborative work of all stakeholders involved in the process of designing, developing and producing architecture and urban or regional spaces as well as the use of building materials and processes has wide-spread and long-term effects on the economic, sociological, environmental and cultural conditions of European cities and regions. Given the complexity and urgency of these interrelations, the BauHow5 alliance aims to promote innovation in architectural research and practice, to enable a dynamic exchange and to increase cross-border collaboration between those involved in research, development, education, business and policy-making, as well as to increase the impact of architectural research and entrepreneurship for the wider benefit of the economy, society and cultural life. It also wants to foster career development both in academia and in practice by providing necessary skill sets for the future of work in architecture. 

Furthermore, it intends to have a lasting impact upon policies for built environment research and innovation, the quality of research-based education in the field, and the establishment of local, regional and transnational partnerships between higher education institutions and various stakeholders.
