Overview
The work of the Bauakademie is aimed at initiating, moderating and supporting the necessary transformation processes in the planning and building industries.
New forms of urban planning and building practices are required to cope with climate change, increasing land sealing and the growing scarcity of resources. New strategies are needed to initiate technical, economic, ecological, political and social changes. The Bauakademie's transformation team cooperates with various players in the building value chain to initiate these transformation processes.
Round Table „Circular“
Round Table „Circular“
Despite its significant potential, less than 1% of building components recovered from demolition and deconstruction projects are currently reused. At the same time, the construction sector remains one of the largest contributors to waste and CO₂ emissions. The “Circular” Round Table convenes experts from across the construction value chain to explore barriers, address industry needs, and co-develop effective strategies for scaling building component reuse.

Treffpunkt Bauwende – A Space for Exchange and Experimentation
Until construction of the new Bauakademie begins, the site of the Federal Bauakademie Foundation will function as an open platform for projects, experimentation, and dialogue. Together with rotating partners, exhibitions and prototypes will be created to showcase and explore sustainable and climate-conscious approaches to building. Multifunctional furniture made from recycled materials from the local area creates spaces for gathering and staying on the Bauakademie grounds.
New European Bauhaus – National Contact Point
The National Contact Point for the New European Bauhaus (NEB NCP) is Germany’s central point of contact for fostering, promoting, and disseminating the values of the New European Bauhaus. Since December 2025, it has been managed by the Federal Bauakademie Foundation, which supports the Federal Ministry for Housing, Urban Development and Building in the implementation of the NEB agenda.
Round Table „Serial, modular and systemic building“
The Alliance for Affordable Housing (Bündnis bezahlbarer Wohnraum) decided on the establishment of an office for the Round Table on “Serial, modular and systemic building” as measure no. 2.19. The Federal Ministry for Housing, Urban Development and Building (BMWSB) intends to develop interdisciplinary proposals and measures to strengthen the use of serial, modular and systemic construction methods. The Federal Bauakademie Foundation has been tasked with its implementation.
