BAU 2027 — Architecture, Materials and Systems

About the event

BAU is an international trade fair for architecture, materials and systems, taking place in Munich from 11 to 15 January 2027. It is for people involved in planning, constructing and designing buildings, including architects, planners, investors, industry and trade representatives, and craftspeople. The scope covers solutions for commercial, residential and interior construction, for both new buildings and existing stock.

The exhibition spans materials and technologies related to a building’s structure and envelope: aluminium and façade systems, processing machinery, structural materials, insulation and building chemistry. Other areas include flooring, roofing, solar systems, glass, wood, tiles, natural stone and sanitary applications. This range makes it possible to consider materials not in isolation but in relation to building design and use.

Engineering and digital systems are another part of the offer. The fair covers energy and building technology, smart building, digital processes, BIM and software. These fields connect material choices with the planning, coordination and operation of building systems. For professionals, the range provides an opportunity to compare different types of solutions and discuss their relevance to new construction and the renewal of existing buildings.

BAU supports comparison of solutions, professional exchange, business contacts and investment decisions. Architects and planners can explore materials and systems; industry and trade representatives can present technologies; and investors and craftspeople can consider options for building projects. The fair brings these perspectives together in one professional format spanning architecture, construction and interiors.
