The European Commission in Brussels has announced the winners of the New European Bauhaus (NEB) Prizes 2026, awarded for projects that combine principles of sustainable development, inclusivity, and aesthetic appeal. A total of 13 winning projects received awards, representing various European Union countries, as well as Ukraine and North Macedonia. In addition to European participants, the list of laureates includes projects from Japan and Brazil, which won in the international category of the competition. The New European Bauhaus initiative was launched by the European Commission as a cultural and creative movement that unites architecture, design, and science with the goal of creating more sustainable, accessible, and beautiful living spaces. The prize is intended to highlight the best examples of this approach and encourage further dissemination of such practices throughout the world. The awards ceremony underscored the growing international significance of the initiative, which was originally conceived as a European project but is gradually attracting attention beyond the continent. The inclusion of projects from Japan and Brazil in the list of laureates demonstrates the expansion of the movement's geography and its transformation into a global platform for exchanging ideas in the field of sustainable construction and design. Winners were selected across several categories reflecting the key priorities of the initiative: from reimagining urban spaces to implementing eco-friendly materials and technologies in construction. The European Commission noted that the awarded projects serve as an example of how the combination of aesthetics, functionality, and environmental stewardship can transform people's everyday lives.
