Bauhaus Earth is a non-profit organization that aims to catalyze the transformation of the built environment towards regenerative, circular and resource-efficient buildings and cities using bio-based materials. The initiative is guided by the conviction that such a reform process must go beyond decarbonizing the building sector but include restoring and expanding global ecosystems such as forests and transforming buildings and cities into durable carbon sinks that contribute to long-term climate restoration. 
As an interdisciplinary think-and-do tank, Bauhaus Earth addresses critical research questions, develops new trans-scalar and systemic design approaches and strategies, and demonstrates through labs and pilot projects what a regenerative built environment of the future might look like. Bauhaus Earth consists of three core elements: (1) the Think Tank as interdisciplinary center for scientific analysis and policy advice on the transformation of the built environment, identifying and addressing existing knowledge gaps, potential intervention points and transformation pathways, (2) the Innovation Labs representing a global network of experimental spaces and incubators for design and construction research and prototypical implementation, and (3) the Learning Spaces translating insights from research and practice into learning formats, manuals, and trainings for decision makers, practitioners, and civil society, empowering them as agile and creative ‘transformation managers’.
