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 ist ein Aufruf zu radikalem 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 Umgestaltung des städtischen Raums wird von zwölf Prinzipien der Wiederverflechtung angeleitet: Wiederverflechtung der Materialien und Raumkonstrukte, aus denen er besteht; Neudenken der sozioökonomischen Strukturen, die ihm zugrunde liegen; und Wiedereinbindung der Bioregionen, die ihn nachhaltig versorgen könnten. Auf diese Weise kann das beispiellose Zusammentreffen von Umwelt- und Sozialkrisen weitreichende Möglichkeiten für einen Systemwandel eröffnen.

In recognition of the dire threats of climate collapse and mass extinction, the global initiative Bauhaus Earth convened a team of scientists, architects, spatial planners, and policy makers from around the world to author a manifesto.Toward Re-Entanglement is a call for radical action. 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 re-design of the entire life cycle of the urban realm: the re-formation and re-materialization of the physical artifacts that comprise it, the reconfiguration of the socioeconomic structures that underpin it, and the re-engagement of the bioregions that might sustainably supply it. In this way, our unprecedented convergence of environmental and social crises offers us powerful opportunities for systemic change.

Philipp Misselwitz is an architect and urban planner based in Berlin. He holds the Chair of Habitat Unit at the Institute for Architecture, TU-Berlin. He is Executive Director of Bauhaus Earth—an interdisciplinary think- tank and lab dedicated to transforming building and human settlements from being drivers of climate and societal crises into creative forces for systemic regeneration.
Alan Organschi is a principal and partner at Gray Organschi Architecture, an award-winning, US based architecture and timber building practice. He currently serves as director of the Innovation Labs at Bauhaus Earth and is a senior member of the faculty at the Yale School of Architecture where he has taught architectural design and building technology for two decades.
Bauhaus Earth is a global interdisciplinary initiative of collaborators from science, architecture, engineering, industry, policy, and finance that seeks to transform the building sector from a major source of anthropogenic environmental and social impact into a regenerative and ecologically sensitive means to meet the housing and infrastructural needs of an urbanizing global population.
