Innovative, reversible construction approaches in real-life urban settings

We are developing the Kultūros ir Meno Inovacijų Centras (KMIC) – an adaptive, modular, and community-driven cultural innovation hub in Kaunas, Lithuania, that will serve as a demonstration site for building renovation through design for adaptability and disassembly.

Our project aligns with HORIZON-NEB-2025-01-BUSINESS-01, and we are seeking partners with technical expertise in circular construction, modular systems, LCA/LCC, and community co-design methodologies.

The KMIC hub will test innovative, reversible construction approaches in real-life urban settings and integrate cultural, educational, and green entrepreneurship activities.

We are looking for:

• Technology/design partners with experience in modular, disassemblable architecture

• LCA/LCC experts to quantify environmental and economic impact

• Replication partners from EU/Associated countries for pilot implementation in a second country (we already have Latvia and Estonia)

What can we offer?

• A physical demonstration site (historic building in central Kaunas)

• Strong stakeholder access: cultural operators, creative sector, youth organizations

• A clearly defined, scalable and socially inclusive project framework

Type of Collaboration Sought:

• Consortium partners for HORIZON-NEB-2025-01-BUSINESS-01

• Demonstration sites in another country (preferably urban context)

• Co-designers of adaptable/disassemblable renovation methodologies
