Making Waves – Designing Regenerative Coastal Futures

Venice 15 November 2025

Join us for the culminating event of the Bauhaus of the Seas Sails project taking place on 15 November 2025 at Ocean Space in Venice. This one-day conference and exhibition will showcase innovative, inclusive, and sustainable design solutions for coastal areas, developed through collaborative efforts by 18 academic, cultural, and territorial partners across 7 pilot locations in Europe.

Over three years this project brings together 18 partners across Europe and features 7 demonstrator pilots, each testing regenerative solutions for coastal environments with countless collaborations with local artists and activities. The final conference is organised and hosted by our cultural partner and pilots leader TBA21, communication leader Magellan Circle, and project coordinator Interactive Technologies Institute (Instituto Superior Técnico) with the support of the entire consortium and pilots partners.

The full day event will feature presentations from leading artists, architects, scientists, and community activists, highlighting the project’s impact and future directions. Attendees will have the opportunity engage with interactive exhibits and join discussions on the role of design in fostering regenerative coastal environments.
