15th edition of the International Conference on Energy Efficiency and Sustainability in Architecture and Urbanism (EESAP 15)

Description

The fifteenth edition of the International Conference on Energy Efficiency and Sustainability in Architecture and Urbanism (EESAP 15) will address the theme of «Co-creation for a better habitat». 

Co-creation is a term that is not yet included in the RAE (Spanish Royal Academy of the Spanish Language), however, the use of the term has already acquired maximum relevance in different professional fields and has been applied for some time to the collaborative development of concepts, solutions, products or services. 

Of course, it is identified as a methodology that will allow us to face with resilience and greater success the processes of ecological, social and technological transition in which our society is immersed. 

The collective habitat construction, understanding HABITAT in all its scales, from land, urban to building, will help us (or at least bring us closer) to guaranteeing the quality of life for all people, as well as a fair climate neutrality achievement. 

We would like to structure the contributions around this new way of building habitat and this multi-scale approach in relation to the following four thematic lines: sustainable mobility, green infrastructure, circular economy and social innovation, considering co-creation as a fundamental aspect in the design of built space both in architecture and in the city and land. These 4 lines are addressed by the application of the principle of equality of women and men in all research work, in line with the new European guidelines. 

Contributions can be about concrete experiences, good practices, methodologies, methodological explorations or diverse opportunities that contribute to enriching knowledge and promoting collaboration in the creation of more sustainable habitats. These opportunities will have to guarantee equal access to resources and rights for women and men and, through them, for all people in disadvantaged conditions. 

Sustainable mobility: 

Exploring accessible and environmentally friendly public transport strategies and how their implementation can improve the quality of life in cities through a collaborative approach that involves the community in design and decision-making. 

Green infrastructure: 

Analysing the impact of the integration of green spaces in urban settings in terms of health, well-being and environmental sustainability, considering the active participation of people in the planning and creation of these spaces in order to leave no one behind. 

Circular economy: 

Identifying opportunities for the reduction, reuse and recycling of resources in the design and construction of habitable environments, promoting efficiency and sustainability through co-creation processes involving different actors and local communities. 

Social innovation: 

Exploring how citizen participation and collaboration between different groups can contribute to the inclusive creation, resilient and sustainable communities at all levels of habitat, encouraging co-creation in the design of built space as a medium for empowerment and social cohesion. 

Furthermore, since this 2024 edition, gender mainstreaming has been included as an innovative factor. This responds to the change that, from 2020, is proposed by the European Commission, which defines and adopts the EU strategy on gender equality, which presents political objectives and initiatives to make significant progress towards a Europe with gender equality by 2025. In this framework, the 4 thematic lines are an opportunity to mark this path. Innovation also means talking about the mobility of care, guaranteeing and ensuring the active participation of women as bearers of different and often invisible knowledge, in order to build architectural and urban spaces that, leaving behind their presumption of neutrality, guarantee equal access to resources and to the spaces themselves, and that respond to needs that are not normative, but more everyday and differentiated. 

In view of this new debate, we invite all our regular collaborators and those who would like to join us in the next edition of our congress to present their ideas and reflections. As in previous editions, and given the congress R+D+i, it is especially aimed at professionals, researchers and students. 

Since the EESAP8/CICA1 edition, the conference has extended the scope of scientific and technical diffusion to the entire innovative construction sector. Furthermore, it is opened to the business sector, due to their close relationship to meet current social demands on business innovation for achieving a higher quality of life.

Ellen Van Bueren

Ellen van Bueren is full professor Urban Development Management at the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment of Delft University of Technology. The governance and management of urban development in support of a sustainable built environment is at the core of her work. She is involved in research and education on policy, planning and decision-making for climate adaptative, resilient, and circular built environments. Her work is of an inter- and transdisciplinary nature, crossing boundaries between theoretical knowledge and societal needs. Focusing on impact for society, she is engaged in action-oriented research and challenge-based education. She publishes in public, professional and academic media, and holds various supervisory board positions in society. In her research and educational activities, she addresses the challenges involved in preparing cities for the future, by making them more resilient, resource efficient and sustainable. New technologies and concepts, lead to a reconfiguration of urban systems and actor networks, calling for institutional change and novel governance arrangements to provide adequate responses.
