Extract from the interview on ACE’s website:

The Architects’ Council of Europe (ACE) had the opportunity to talk with Jorge Figueira and Gonçalo Canto Moniz to discuss their vision regarding the NEB, quality in the built environment, relevance of architectural policies, education, housing and the EU-funded project Urbinat.

In the framework of the International Conference “From Bauhaus to the New House”, the Portuguese Association of Architects (OA) released recently the report ‘New European Bauhaus: an opportunity to recentre architecture.” This European Conference on Architectural Policies reflected a commitment on the part of the OA to respond to an appeal from the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and assumed the mission of architects as agents of change, constructing the New European Bauhaus, putting forward a dialogue on the current challenges for a post-pandemic future and crossing architecture, art, city and politics: From Bauhaus to the New House – Post-Covid Landscapes.
