BAU München
BAU München 2027 is a trade fair for architecture, materials, and systems held from January 11–15, 2027, at Messe München in Munich, Germany, and organized by Messe München GmbH. The event takes place every two years and is described by the organizer as the "World's Leading Trade Fair for Architecture, Materials and Systems." The event serves as a gathering point for individuals involved in the international community for planning, building, and designing structures. This includes architects, planners, investors, representatives from industrial and commercial sectors, and members of the building trades.
Attendees at BAU München typically focus on the latest techniques, materials, and applications relevant to practical use in the construction industry. The event aims to provide visitors with a direct experience of the future of building. It functions as a platform that brings together know-how from various industry branches and trades at an international level. BAU promotes a concrete exchange of ideas and information, acts as an intermediary for industry stakeholders, and facilitates synergies across the sector. The trade fair is positioned as a venue for investment decisions, enabling exhibitors to access new international markets while offering visitors genuine, practice-oriented future prospects and lasting added value.
For BAU 2027, several key topics will be addressed. These include Material and resources, Climate protection and climate adaptation, A changing habitat, and Digitalization and productivity. These themes are designed to reflect current developments within the industry. Exhibitors have the opportunity to register and secure a stand at BAU München, with application and pricing information available from the organizer. A new format called BLACK BOX has been introduced for companies seeking to go beyond traditional exhibition presence, allowing them to stage their brand and present solutions in a specially designed environment to create impact.
The event's supporting program typically encompasses a range of activities. Based on previous editions such as BAU 2025, the program includes various forums where exhibitors deliver practice-oriented presentations and engage in discussions on future ideas and projects. Special shows and dedicated areas focus on the event's key themes, highlighting the latest industry developments. Award ceremonies for internationally recognized architecture awards and product awards also take place during the trade fair. Visitors have the option to participate in guided tours of the fair, designed to offer deeper insights into specific topics and interests.
Furthermore, BAU often features a Start-up Area, which serves as a platform for young companies in the construction industry to showcase innovations, technologies, and solutions. There is also a focus on Young Professionals, with daily offers and highlights designed for trainees, students, and career starters within the construction sector. Numerous exhibitors organize their own events on their stands, including product presentations, panel discussions, and lectures on current topics. The organizer maintains a strong partner network, including associations, networks, and media partners, to support the event and foster industry dialogue.
