The European Commission has awarded the construction contract for its new Joint Research Centre (JRC) building in Seville, Spain. The new building’s open-air spaces will also be accessible to the public, reinforcing its role as a community landmark and a beacon of sustainable progress.
The project exemplifies the principles of the New European Bauhaus, combining innovation and environmental responsibility. The building will feature a dome-shaped roof made of solar panels to generate energy exceeding its operational needs. This setup ensures the building achieves net-zero emissions, including offsetting the carbon footprint of its construction.
