The New European Bauhaus is an initiative of the EU Commission to combine sustainability and design in the building sector when implementing the European Green Deal. The winners of the Bauhaus prizes were announced yesterday. Bavarias building minister Kerstin Schreyer is delighted that one of the more than 2000 submissions came from Bavaria. In the field of architecture the RoSana project from Rosenheim by the architects Anna Heringer and Martin Rauch won in the built environment and nature category. The circle of finalists in the Products and Lifestyle category also included the Dipdii Textiles project from Laufen which combines textile design from Germany with craftsmanship from Bangladesh. At the end of April 2021 the EU Commission awarded prizes for showcase projects in Europe that combine sustainability aesthetics and participation. The Bauhaus prizes were selected from more than 2000 entries from all over Europe. Ten winners of the New Bauhaus Prize will each receive a prize of 30000 euros and a communication package from the EU Commission. I am very happy that a winner is coming from Bavaria. It shows that we have great people talented architects strong associations and chambers who develop valuable ideas and interesting concepts and are a great asset for all of us said Schreyer. The common goal of the architects Anna Heringer and Martin Rauch was to design the RoSana guest house for Ayurveda applications in harmony with nature and the built environment in order to create a healthy environment for people. The focus was also on building with healthy materials such as wood and clay. The primary construction consists of glue-free solid load-bearing wooden panels. The facade made of willow branches was redeveloped in this form as was the prefabrication of rammed earth elements. The project also makes a significant contribution to building culture.
