- Summary:
- Angesichts des drohenden Klimakollapses und des Massensterbens hat die globale Initiative Bauhaus Earth ein Team von Wissenschaftler*innen, Architekt*innen, Raumplaner*innen und politischen Entscheidungsträger*innen aus aller Welt zusammengerufen, um ein Manifest zu verfassen. Toward Re-Entanglement: A Charter for the City and the Earth ist ein Aufruf zum radikalen Handeln. Es fordert alle an der Konzeption, der Produktion, dem Betrieb und der Steuerung des Bausektors Beteiligten auf, sich mit den systemischen ökologischen, klimatischen und sozialen Folgen ihres Tuns auseinanderzusetzen. Die Charta versammelt zwölf Grundsätze zur Umgestaltung des städtischen Raums: zur Neugestaltung der Materialen und Raumkonstrukte, aus denen er besteht, zum Neudenken der sozioökonomischen Strukturen, die ihm zugrunde liegen, und zur Wiedereinbindung der Bioregionen, die ihn nachhaltig versorgen könnten. Auf diese Weise kann das beispiellose Zusammentreffen von Umwelt- und Sozialkrisen beachtliche Möglichkeiten für einen Systemwandel eröffnen.
- Recognizing the dire threats of climate collapse and mass extinction, the global initiative Bauhaus Earth convened a team of scientists, architects, spatial planners, and policymakers from around the world to author a manifesto. Toward Re-Entanglement: A Charter for the City and the Earth is a call for radical transformation. It challenges all those with a role in the conception, production, operation, and governance of the building sector to address the systemic ecological, climatic, and social impacts incurred by its activities. Twelve principles of "re-entanglement" guide the redesign of the entire life cycle of the urban realm: the reforming and rematerializing of the physical artifacts that comprise it, the reconfiguring of the socioeconomic structures that underpin it, and the reengaging of the bioregions that might sustainably supply it. In this way, the unprecedented convergence of the environmental and social crises we are causing offers powerful opportunities for systemic change.
