Project: Future Baltic Bauhaus - FBB
The project aims to show how the construction sector can in various ways reduce its carbon dioxide emissions and reduce its use of resources by making the industry more circular. Within the project, three pilot projects are implemented in the reuse of building materials, training program for circular construction and guidelines for future design ideas: Future Baltic Bauhaus - FBB.

More about the project
Future Baltic Bauhaus - FBB aims to significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the construction sector by promoting a circular eco
nomy and resource efficiency through material reuse. The project focuses on three key areas: pilot projects, training and guidelines for the implementation of the Future Baltic Bauhaus concept.
The countries around the Baltic Sea share history and architectural culture and are united by the EU's climate goals. This collaboration will promote a new cross-border culture that maximizes resource use and increases community value. The initiative is inspired by the Bauhaus movement of the 1920s and encourages innovative design and sustainability.
The pilot projects will concentrate on three main aspects: logistics (making dismantled materials available), material selection (determining what can be reused) and practical application (showing how materials can be used in construction). All investments will be fully financed by project partners.
We will involve different groups such as architects, developers, investors and public authorities. Together we can find solutions to use more recycled materials and make the construction sector more sustainable.
By educating and supporting these groups, we hope to create a change where we go from just wasting resources to thinking circularly. The goal is to build the buildings of the future in a more sustainable way.
The project is part of the research in the Sustainable Built Environment Research (SBER) research group and the Linnaeus Knowledge Environment Green Sustainable Development.
