On the hand, it does so when we have overcome the negative cliché that architects may have su ered after the construction bubble. On the other hand, at a time of ambition in the areas of urban, environmental and social policy, to add a cultural soul to the European Green Pact and bring it closer to the spaces we inhabit on a daily basis.  \nThe already more than widespread values of sustainability, inclusiveness and beauty are part of the pillars of architectural training. In addition, the combination of local and global dimensions, participation and transdisciplinarity are part of the complexity of the architectural process.  \nThe DNA of the profession is embodied in the New European Bauhaus. Moreover, the social vocation of the collective means that it must place itself atthe service of citizens. Like the historical Bauhaus, the ultimate goal of the NEB is to improve people's lives. To put culture, architecture, design and urban planning at the service of society.  \nAt a time when we are going to invest millions of euros in renovating buildings to make them more e􀀞cient, and build in a more sustainable way, the role of architects is indispensable to do it in an inclusive and aesthetic way:  \nfollowing our values, but also those of the NEB.  \nIf we share time and place with this initiative, we must seize the opportunity to put our profession and our sector in the place they deserve. The original Bauhaus movement came to democratize our homes, our objects, to make them more comfortable, easier to produce, more a ordable.
