It is becoming increasingly important to think in cross-industry terms and act via networks. The member institutes of the Fraunhofer Building Innovation Alliance are working on interdisciplinary solutions to actively shape the “living spaces of the future”.
With its special show at BAU 2019, Hall C2, Booth 528, the Fraunhofer alliance will be presenting innovative products and system solutions from its construction research. The centrepiece of the special show is the walk-in “Innovation Cube” located in the middle of the exhibition area occupying a surface area of approximately 300 square meters.
The two-story cube will be used to showcase innovative and sustainable insulation materials, PV strip collectors, façade-integrated lighting and resilient façade elements capable of resisting explosions. Unusual materials, such as vegan leather for architectural applications or acoustic plaster, will be demonstrated on the façades of the cube, as will the use of PCM (phase change materials) as energy storage systems or an air collector and ceiling panels for smart air conditioning inside buildings. A wall drying system and a method for virtual sampling complete the multi-faceted joint exhibit.
In the augmented reality application for virtual room sampling, QR codes are collected via an app on a tablet and the corresponding virtual building products then displayed three-dimensionally on the inside of the cube. With this technology, architects, planners or manufacturers can now test various system or product solutions on virtual models, enabling them to make well-founded decisions early on in the planning stage. The “Innovation Cube” is surrounded by four theme areas, which are described in the following by means of selected exhibits. “While in other countries great efforts are already being made to exploit the possibilities of digitization to increase productivity and cost efficiency and reduce errors, the digitization of the German real estate world is still in its infancy,” sums up Thomas Kirmayr, Managing Director of the Fraunhofer Building Innovation Alliance.

Special show „Living spaces of the future“ at BAU 2019
Digitization, climate change, scarcity of resources and housing shortages – these trends call for society, business and research alike to change their ways. The construction industry also has to develop innovative and sustainable solutions to meet the constantly growing demands placed on buildings.

Although Messe München does have a tried-and-tested hygiene concept, BAU, the world’s leading trade fair for architecture, materials and systems, will not be held from January 11 to 16, 2021 as a conventional in-person event. This was the clear decision from the Messe München meeting with the Advisory Board and Board of Trustees of BAU on 30.09.2020. Instead, there will be a hybrid format from January 13 to 15, 2021, offering exhibitors the opportunity to present their innovations to a wide audience. The digital part of this event will also be an important part of the conventional in-person BAU 2023 trade fair. (more…)28 July 2020
BAU 2021 is on track to offer the industry an attractive platform at the Munich Exhibition Center from January 11 to 16. This is the result of the latest meetings of the Advisory Board and Board of Trustees with representatives from leading exhibitors and trade associations. In view of the falling rates of infection and easing of travel restrictions throughout Europe, Messe München believes that the prospects are good for a successful BAU 2021. A 15 percent Corona bonus on the participation price should help the exhibitors with the acquisition of visitors. (more…)5 April 2019
