This is of course an enormous job, in view of the numbers involved—around 240,000 visitors are expected to attend. To ensure all goes as smoothly as possible, visitors are being encouraged to register for the show in advance, online. In 2013 as many as 70 percent of the visitors took advantage of this possibility. The process is simple and quick. In just a few clicks, visitors can buy their ticket online— a Print@home Ticket, which, like the name says, can then be printed out immediately at home or in the office. Visitors who have been sent an online voucher for a ticket by an exhibitor can also exchange this online for a Print@home Ticket. To register online, go to the “Tickets” section at www.baumuenchen.com. An amusing cartoon film, lasting just 60 seconds, shows how to do it. The film is certainly worth a look, even if you’ve already got your ticket! www.bau-muenchen.com/whyregisteronline Mirko Arend, Deputy Business Unit Director at Messe München, recommends that all visitors should register online: “The Print@home Ticket is firstly much
cheaper than one bought at the venue, and secondly it gets you into the show faster, because you don’t have to spend time waiting in line and registering at the exhibition center.” By registering all the visitors to BAU, the show’s organizers are aiming to optimize networking between exhibitors and visitors. Using Scan2Lead (www.baumuenchen.com/Scan2Lead_en) the visitors can have the barcode printed on their entrance ticket scanned in at the exhibitors’ booths. That way the exhibitor instantly has access to the information that visitor entered during registration. This helps when the exhibitor is, for example, sending further product information to that visitor. Exhibitors can hire datascan devices, or use the lead-tracking app on their own iPhone or iPad. Data protection is of course a top priority at Messe München. During online registration, a data-protection declaration is available to read, giving answers to visitors’ questions. “Clearly we cannot force everyone to register,” explained Mirko Arend: “But in the end everyone benefits: the exhibitors, the visitors and of course we as a trade-fair company.” ...

Materials, technologies, systems BAU 2015 is a 180,000 m² showcase of materials, technologies and systems. An area the size of 25 football pitches filled with state-of-the-art technology for the international building and construction industry. On the follow ing four pages, we present the individual sections at the show. What are the trends, what themes will be in focus? And where are there examples of current applications? Read on to find out.
Stones / Soils (Halls A1, A2)
This section at BAU takes up two halls, each filled with solutions and products for facade systems, dry construction and prefabricated construction. Here visitors can also gather in-depth information on materials such as sand-lime, pumice and fiber-cement building materials, plasters and renders, screeds and insulation materials. As in previous years there is a dedicated section on concrete. Special atten tion will be paid to the latest developments in sustain ability, energy efficiency, design and innovation: These include the planning handbook “Planungs atlas für den Hochbau”, ways of thermo-activating the concrete core, and visual concrete with all the different surface finishes that are available.
Flat roof tiles fit in very well with modern tastes in building aesthetics. In particular the medium-format tiles—using ten to twelve per square meter—are growing in popularity. This medium size is ideal not only for new buildings, but also for re-roofing on top of an existing roof frame. Without any major financial input, this easy-to-handle format is therefore a simple solution for R&M projects, which after all account for more than 70 percent of the entire turnover of tile manufacturers.
Tiles: Black and gray are on trend.
Stone / Cast stone (Hall A4)
In terms of colors, black and gray dominate, favored for their understated elegance and for blending in well with the technical installations on the roof, e.g. solar-thermal panels. In combination with dark colors, matt surfaces are also increasingly in demand. Matt and satin-finished tiles reduce light reflection by more than 90 percent, and they offer excellent protection against mechanical and environmental influences. Their dirt-repellent properties also appeal.
Ceramics (Hall A4)
Bricks / Roof construction (Hall A3)
Man has been using fired clay in his buildings for thousands of years. Yet the innovations in this field keep on coming, and at BAU 2015 plenty of them will be on show. For example, ceramic tiles printed using the latest digital technology and offering superbdesign quality and scope. Natural, earthy

effects are likely to still be in focus, but the charm of this technique is that it enables the inspiration sources not just to be copied, but to be subtly interpreted for ceramic application. The result is par ticularly good on large-format tiles, with side lengths of up to 120 cm: the trend towards XXL dimensions continues, while at the other extreme interest is still strong in intricate ceramic mosaics. In wall tiles the third dimension continues to offer interesting options, for example as regards sculptural relief effects.
As the oldest building material in the world, stone is by virtue of the way it was created, both sustainable and free of pollutants. At the same time, because of its durability and cost-effectiveness, it fits in very well with modern requirements in terms of aesthetics and quality. Each type of stone is unique: the rich variety of colors and the diversity of surface finishes that are available mean this material is predestined for both indoor and outdoor applications, as flooring or on facades. The current trend in facades is for light-colored limestone or sandstone in shades of white, beige or gray. In interiors classical white (marble) or black (gabbro, slate) stone is also in demand. Structured surfaces (sandblasted, with or without brushing) are especially popular. Recently also relief structures are in favor, these surfaces being produced by milling or high-pressure water jets.
Flooring (Halls A5, A6)
environmental and health aspects are shaping the development, production and application of chemical building products.
Flooring: more structure, more decor. Visitors to BAU can look forward to a broad spectrum of new products in elastic and textile flooring, in parquet and laminates—plus extensive infor mation on moldings and profiles, applications and laying techniques. Sustainability and individual design options are ever more noticeable in the portfolios of the manufacturers. “Consumers value a healthy environment in the places they live and work, fitted with products from sustainable manufacturing,” explained Ivo Schintz, Chairman of FEB— Fachverband der Hersteller elastischer Bodenbeläge e.V., a trade association of manufacturers of elastic flooring. An example of this is the increasing popularity of plasticizers based on renewable raw materials. In commercial and residential construction design flooring is a growing trend. Decors with a photo-realistic design are a popular choice, as are sophisticated surface structures with an interesting look and feel. In terms of wood, oak decor is offered in all kinds of variations, but a limed finish is also still in demand. In general the trend is for more color, more structure and more decor!
Waterproofing, a traditional theme for chemical building products, has gained particular attention recently, due to the flooding in southern and eastern Germany. Remedial work is still going on in the affected regions. At BAU in Munich the manu facturers will be presenting the latest solutions for waterproofing the outside of buildings (bituminous products) and for inside, e.g. compound seals for wetrooms and new product innovations, such as special plaster systems, for direct application to damaged areas. As well as insulating and waterproofing materials, the manufacturers of chemical building products will also be presenting solutions for fire protection, screeds and renders, paints, varnishes, adhesives and sealants.
Wood / Plastics (Hall B5)
Chemical building products (Halls A6, B6)
The main focuses in the section on chemical building products will include energy-efficiency improve ments in R&M, sustainability and energy efficiency. Prompted by national and international legislation,
Timber construction is going ever more in the direction of high-rises. The LifeCycle Tower—LCT ONE in Dornbirn, Austria, completed at the end of 2012 by Hermann Kaufmann ZT GmbH—is not only the first eight-story timber-framed building in Austria. It is also the prototype for the timber-frame construction system developed in the “LifeCycle Tower” research project. The wood and concrete composite ribbed
floors were prefabricated precisely to take the specified loads. The Canadian architect Michael Green aims to build even higher in wood: He has published plans to build a 30-story high-rise, called the Tallwood Tower, in Vancouver. At BAU 2015 there will also be plenty of innovations on show in interiors, e.g. staircases and flooring. Visitors to BAU will also find many new products and ideas in timber derivatives, plastics, facade systems and accessories.
Doors and windows (Halls B4, C4)
Today customers are wanting doors to be barrier-free, safe and user-friendly in design, and also c apable of withstanding the dangers and consequences of climate change, e.g. hurricane-force winds and flooding. Particular attention in this context is being paid to the “zero-millimeter threshold” and the design challenges this presents in terms of thermal bridges and protection against driving rain. New solutions for optimum user comfort are needed in particular for larger and heavy components. In the window segment, child safety is an important factor: products have to have some kind of shatter protection, and prevent children falling out or getting crushed by the pane. Another important factor is preventing condensation from forming—this is achieved with well insulated window frames in combination with triple glazing and a warm edge. At BAU 2015 the manufacturers will be presenting comprehensive information on individual materials such as wood, plastics, glass and aluminum, but also on shutters and sun protection.

Materials, technologies, systems Locks / Fittings / Security (Halls B4, C4)
Gates / Parking systems (Halls B3, C3)
new developments in trend themes such as building information modeling and mobile solutions. New evaluation and calculation tools support planners through the concept and implementation phases.
BAU IT: Future trends—BIM and mobile solutions.
Automatic doors and gates are becoming ever more popular in an ever wider range of buildings—from industrial and retail to sports and medical facilities. More and more home owners, too, are starting to en joy the benefits provided by these electronic systems.
Visitors to BAU will be able to pick up lots of information and advice on locks, cylinders and fittings, as well as anti-intrusion systems, access-control systems and accessories.
Locks and fittings: Security is the top priority.
Electronics is helping to make access systems simpler and more cost-effective. Other security functions such as alarm signals, central locking and status reports on open windows are also very attractive. In addition, the new technology offers potential for increasing energy efficiency, through daylight deflection, for instance, or lighting controls. Operation is via radio signals, transponder, chip card or bio metric data, but the trend is increasingly towards the use of smartphones and Bluetooth. Already 60 to 70 percent of new-fit roller shutters, awnings and gates are electronically operated. The figures for front doors are gradually catching up.
As well as software tools for design planning, the visitors can also look forward to a broad spectrum of IT solutions in the areas of measurement technology, tenders, awarding of contracts, billing, project planning, project management and controlling. The German association of building software (Bundesverband Bausoftware) is organizing a large joint stand of its members at BAU 2015. Held again this time, as part of BAU IT, is the competition “Built on IT—Building jobs with a future”.
Steel / Stainless steel (Hall B2)
BAU IT (Hall C3) For many users, security is a big concern, and the manufacturers are paying particular attention to this in the development of their anti-intrusion products— and the success of these products can be seen in the higher proportion of burglars that are foiled in their attempts to get into buildings. As with the design of windows and doors, the principles of universal design are also being applied to locks and fittings. The aim is to increase comfort and s ecurity and to ensure ease of use by all. Automatic operation is one way of meeting these requirements, not only in the home environment, but also in the workplace, where it im proves efficiency and safety and also offers significant potential for optimizing energy consumption.

BAU has also become Europe’s biggest showcase for software for the building and construction industry. In 2015, many exhibitors will again be presenting
The key role that steel and stainless steel plays in building construction is amply reflected in the diversity of different types of steel and steel products that are available. The applications for these materials range from urban infrastructure and bridges, earthquake- and flood-protection, high-rises and intelli-
gent facades to lightweight construction, industrial, commercial and residential building and the design of urban spaces. At BAU planners, architects, engineers and the processing trades can update their know ledge and find out about new developments; it’s also a valuable source of information for building clients and young entrants to the building profession.
Steel: 100% recycling. At BAU the Steel Information Centre in Düsseldorf and its member companies will be putting on a display concentrating on the key themes of the show, to point out how only steel is the answer for a future-capable, sustainable design of our cities. No other building material can boast a complete and closed cycle of recovery and re-use, without any loss of quality. Urban mining for the regenerative building material steel is not a vision for the future, it has long since been a reality, as the environmental product declarations for building steel and profile panels confirm. Building with steel is the way forward towards a zero-waste economy.
Energy / Building systems / Solar technology (Hall B2)
tricity and overall electricity consumption in the home. The devices that consume electricity are linked up in an intelligent system controlled by an “energy manager”: This central control unit decides on just which devices will use the electricity being generated at any one particular time, in line with the consumption profile of the household. Via an internet con nection, the system can even be controlled remotely by smartphone. As well as new products and innovations in photovoltaics, solar thermal energy and solar architecture, the manufacturers at BAU 2015 will be presenting the latest developments in heating, cooling and air-handling technology.
Glass (Hall C2) Durable, corrosion-resistant and recyclable—these qualities make aluminum virtually predestined for use in a wide range of applications. The stability of this versatile material is also an attractive property in shading components and window profiles. Highly insulating systems are just as efficient as multi-
The use of more glass in modern architecture is opening up new possibilities but also new challenges. Solutions for efficient solar protection, for example, are becoming ever more important. Pressure-equalized multi-pane insulating glass offers interesting options, in the form of reduced glass thickness, simpler and more efficient integration of light-deflecting and solar-shading systems, and improved sound and thermal insulation.
Glass: Solutions for efficient solar shading.
Solar technology is becoming ever more important in building systems. For home-owners it is now more cost-effective to use the electricity they generate themselves rather than feeding it into the grid. Smart-home technology, as it is known, is designed for optimum coordination of own-generated elec-
Aluminum (Halls B1, C1)
In plus-energy houses in particular, modern glass facades are increasingly being exploited for energy- generation purposes. As well as solutions for energy- generating systems and facades, at BAU 2015 the manufacturers will be presenting new developments in glass building materials, foils, glass con structions and lifts.
chamber plastic windows, but longer-lasting and low in maintenance, which is why aluminum is setting trends in the window market. Slim profile widths increase the proportion of glazing, but without reducing energy efficiency. In addition aluminum profiles offer design scope beyond conventional powder-coating, e.g. anodizing and self-cleaning surfaces.
Aluminum: Versatile, durable, corrosion-resistant. Truly spectacular effects can be achieved on building envelopes through the use of aluminum. The “Blue Planet”, for example, northern Europe’s largest and most modern aquarium, opened in 2013 in Copenhagen, looks like a giant, shimmering vortex. As well as solutions in aluminum facades and pro files, BAU will also feature extensive information on solar shading and energy-generating systems.

Innovations all round—in the special shows at BAU
Textile architecture can do more!
ResearchWorkShop
Textile architecture can do more! That is the motto of the special show on textile architecture in the Atrium at BAU. Innovative textile and foil products will be presented there under an open sky, to demonstrate the durability and adaptability of textile materials.
The 17 research institutions in the Fraunhofer Building Innovation Alliance are putting on a special show in Hall C2. Entitled “ResearchWorkShop”, this showcases innovations and developments in the following areas:
So far, such materials have tended to be used in more unusual architectural projects, one prominent example being the Allianz Arena in Munich. But now textile and foil products are becoming increasingly popular in day-to-day architectural practice. BAU is putting on this special show in cooperation with the architectural practice “leichtbaukunst”.
Eco Design—for Man + Environment
A model of the special show by the Fraunhofer Building Innovation Alliance.
Energy- and resource-efficiency,
Building for life— Demography goes green In this special show in Hall A4 the focus is on what universal design actually looks like in practice, and what it needs in terms of planning, products and materials. BAU is putting on this special show for the third time in cooperation with GGT Deutsche Gesellschaft für Gerontotechnik®. The motto this time is: “Demography goes green”. As the name suggests, it will present comfortable design, suited for young and old, in combination with energy-efficient and future-oriented solutions. A model home set up in Hall A4 will be fitted with corresponding products from industrial partners. The modular overall concept was developed by GGT experts and it is a model example of how to combine living and working under one roof.

Specialist building information, further education and in-service training, with “Knowledge-transfer” At the “Knowledge-transfer” theme island, the Fraun hofer Building Innovation Alliance is gathering together theme-related research possibilities and giving fast access to many publications (some of which are free of charge) on the themes of energy, planning and building.
with “Building envelope 2.0” Extensive insulation using thermally active insulation materials not only helps building users reduce energy costs in a sustainable way. Intelligent materials fitted to facades also help in energy recovery and/or reduction of consumption. Technologies for cities of the future, with “Intelligent Urbanization” Intelligent urbanization is about sustainable urban development that meets the challenges of demographic change, clean energy, “Industry 4.0”, new mobility etc. etc. And it does this using intelligent products and systems.
In cooperation with ift Rosenheim BAU is organizing the special show entitled “Eco Design—for Man + Environment”. Showcased here are materials, con struction styles and technologies for building envelopes and components of the future, all aimed at reducing the pressure on the environment and on resources, and ensuring a better, more humane and safer world for us all. This also involves the principles of bionic, universal and cradle-to-cradle design. The themes covered include new materials and products for windows and window profiles, intelligent control systems, the use of renewable energy, energy efficiency, the development of closed material cycles, innovative scenarios for using resources and improving comfort and security.
4 theme islands in the ResearchWorkShop. Prefabrication and building quality, with the “3D printed house” The vision of a 3D printed house has moved significantly closer thanks to the capability of printing building components on site, on demand, and in a quality that can even exceed that of prefabricated components. This push-button technology promises simplified building and lower costs.
Pictogram potpourri: Making life better, more humane and safer.
Get-together for architects and the skilled trades tion and industry representatives on the one hand and architects and building workers on the other.
In 2015 there will for the first time be a gettogether of architects and the skilled trades. Organized in cooperation with the Konradin media group and the Central Association of the German Construction Industry (ZDB—Zentralverband Deutsches Baugewerbe), this “Stammtisch” promises information and entertainment in a series of high-caliber panel discussions on a range of themes. The get-together is held each morning from Tuesday to Friday, at the East Entrance. “Thermal insulation—still a hot potato” will without doubt prompt heated debate between associa-
Just how important it is to coordinate the building trades is set out in the session on “Construction defects—Cooperation on site”. Building surveyors, lawyers, architects and representatives of the building trades will be explaining how to successfully avoid construction defects. Under the motto of “Sufficiency in the building culture—lasting quality instead of doubtful quantity”, architects and carpenters will be presenting projects in which it is not project size or budget that is critical, but the use of available resources and close cooperation between the building trades and the architect.
Practical tips and tricks on “Encouraging young talent and attracting skilled workers” to the building trades will be passed on by representatives of the trade associations, successful business people and not least the world champions from the German construction trade. The panel discussions will be presented by editors from the trade journals Malerblatt, BM, dds and db deutsche bauzeitung. Also new at BAU 2015 are themed tours of the show for the skilled trades; these start at the East Entrance. The tours on wood, insulation, IT, and doors/windows/fittings are led by experienced trade professionals.
Germany’s national construction team sets up a training camp Within the framework of the Skilled Trades Meeting Point, the national team of the German construction industry will again be setting up a training camp at BAU. The camp is part of the preparations for “WorldSkills 2015”, the vocational world championships taking place in São Paulo in Brazil in August 2015. The German national team consists of bricklayers, tilers, plasterers and carpenters. The team members qualify via the German championships. In spring 2015 it will be decided just who will be representing Germany at the World Cup. During BAU 2015 the team members will be practicing the skills that will
be tested in the international contest. “With this camp we want to present our national team, which does an excellent job of promoting the building trades and showcasing the skills of our young professionals,” explained Felix Pakleppa, principal managing director of the Central Association of the German Construction Industry (ZDB—Zentralverband Deutsches Baugewerbe): “Because quality comes from having the right qualifications!”
BAU Ticker Opening: The new German Federal Minister for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety, Dr. Barbara Hendricks, will be officially opening BAU 2015. The ceremony takes place on Monday, January 19 at 9:30 at the East Entrance. In the presence of Dr. Reinhard Pfeiffer, the managing director responsible for the show, the minister will give a short address. After that the ribbon will be ceremonially cut to open
the event. Experience has shown that this ceremony attracts large crowds, because shortly before the opening hundreds, if not thousands of people are waiting to be admitted. After the opening ceremony the minister will tour the show.
The European champion in carpentry—21-year-old Simon Rehm from Weinsfeld in Bavaria—is a part of the national team. He also came to train at BAU 2013.
BAU Ticker Promoting young talent: BAU is doing its bit to encourage young talent and recruit them to the building industry. To help schoolchildren in their career choice, BAU, in cooperation with ift, Institut für Talententwicklung, is organizing an information day in the ICM Congress Center on Wednesday, January 21. Schoolchildren from the Munich, Ingolstadt, Augsburg and Landshut areas can benefit from talks and presentations about job openings by exhibitors at BAU and thus better understand what career opportunities are open to them in the sector. The “future of building”—that’s much more than just a slogan at BAU.

Viewpoint
“The mirrors for Versailles were our first major order.” Saint-Gobain is celebrating a very special anniversary. In 2015 this listed French industrial group will be 350 years old. We talked to the Regional Managing Director Michael Wörtler.
Does Pierre-André de Chalendar see it that way too? The Directeur Général of Saint-Gobain visited BAU for the first time in 2013.
To kick off, let’s test your knowledge of history—What does Louis XIV have to do with Saint-Gobain?
Our CEO is very well aware of the significance of BAU. He also came to Munich in 2011, in fact. And he has already said he will be coming in 2015.
You are referring to the Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles. Saint-Gobain delivered the mirrors for that hall—you can say it was our first major order.
Since the 1970s, Saint-Gobain has developed from being a producer of glass and fiber-glass products into a global mixed group. Today the group comprises 1,200 individual companies, employing a total of almost 200,000 employees. Is this structure an advantage or a disadvantage in a building sector which has a strong regional character and is mainly composed of small and medium-sized enterprises?
Are you really that good at history, or have you been taking a peek at Wikipedia? You are underestimating the employees of SaintGobain. You can ask who you like—we all know about Versailles. That’s just part of the story of this company. The French are very proud of their past. The Sun King and his palace in Versailles are part of the national heritage. The celebrations for SaintGobain’s 350th anniversary at your HQ in Courbevoie must be a really big thing ... We are of course all very proud to work for a company that can look back on such a long and successful history. The 350 years are, however, also an occasion to look into the future; so we will be celebrating in both the real as well as the virtual world, i.e. on the internet, including in the social media.
The structure of Saint-Gobain is highly decentralized, we have a matrix organization with functional departments and delegations. As such we can rely on a strong presence on the ground, we know what our customers and consumers want and can cater very specifically to them. That is most certainly one of our strengths. How should we look at Saint-Gobain in Germany? Does it operate fully independently from the headquarters in France? We have tremendous scope in many aspects, in line with the principle of “Think global, act local”. Some things, for example major investments, have of course to be agreed with Paris.
About Michael Wörtler is Chairman of SAINTGOBAIN ISOVER G+H AG. He studied physics at the Westfälische Wilhelms University in Münster and engineering at the San José State University in California. He joined the Saint-Gobain Group in 1983 and has been in charge of Germany’s market leader in insulation materials since 2003. As Regional Managing Director SaintGobain Construction Products Sector Central Europe he is also responsible for the German and Austrian companies Isover, Rigips and Weber. Also since 2003 he has been chairman of the Fachverband der Mineralwolleindustrie (FMI) in Berlin, he is a board member of the Forschungsinstitut für Wärmeschutz (FIW), a member of the board of trustees of the Fraunhofer Institut für Bauphysik (IBP) and a member of the supervisory board of Heinze Baudatenbank.
You are Regional Managing Director with responsibility for the companies Saint-Gobain ISOVER G+H AG, Saint-Gobain Rigips and Saint-Gobain Weber. Bringing together lots of well known brands under one umbrella—is that a kind of corporate philosophy of the Saint-Gobain group? Saint-Gobain has a large portfolio of famous brands. And of course we exploit this trump card. But belonging to a large group is an advantage when it comes to integrated solutions or support from the very strong central R&D departments.
Conveniently, BAU in Munich is also taking place in your anniversary year. Will you be celebrating there, too? At BAU we will be officially opening Saint-Gobain’s 350th anniversary year; and we will be celebrating in style.
Would you care to look into the crystal ball, to the year 2065, and tell us where you think SaintGobain will be at its next major anniversary?
How important is BAU for Saint-Gobain? Together with Batimat in Paris, BAU is the most important trade fair for the business areas that have to do with construction and modernization.

The Saint-Gobain Isover booth at BAU 2013.
We already have 350 years of successful business behind us, and we are one of the oldest companies in the world. In fifty years time Saint-Gobain will still be one of the global players—of that I am certain.
In conversation
Co-exhibitors are a good thing! Among other things, BAU is well known for its spectacular booth designs and impressive product presentations. But there are exhibitors at the show who do not have their own booth, but who are still flying the flag. How to attract attention as a “coexhibitor” at BAU and how exhibitors also benefit from bringing co-exhibitors on board at their booths, was the subject of a discussion we had with Dr. Stephan Kufferath, Chairman of GKD— Gebr. Kufferath AG, and Sabine Heinzel of the stainless steel information organization, Informationsstelle Edelstahl Rostfrei (ISER). GKD—Gebr.
turns the spotlight on new developments and trends in stainless steel, it also presents portraits of all the co-exhibitors, in the trade media, in the BAU press forums and on the ISER website. Combined with targeted press work, our co-exhibitors thus get as much publicity as possible. As ISER we make sure the overall presentation is structured and cohesive—both at the booth itself, as well as in the information sources available to the visitor. Our joint presentation is always very well attended, and that means of course the companies are always busy. That is proof of the success of this concept.
Kufferath AG and the Informationsstelle Edelstahl Rostfrei were chosen at random for this interview from over 100 co-exhibitors. The selection was conducted under the supervision of a notary.
ISER presentation by displaying all the logos on our Mediamesh®-Screen in a multimedia installation that is visible from afar. Gebr. Kufferath AG is a world market leader in special mesh solutions, and it employs around 600 people. Aren’t you tempted to have your own booth at BAU? Dr. Kufferath: As a medium-sized company we could never put on a large, high-profile presentation such as the ISER booth. Our target group tallies with that of ISER and so in the present form our presentations complement each other very well.
Ms. Heinzel, the Informationsstelle Edelstahl Rostfrei has for years been putting on a joint presentation at BAU featuring between 10 and 20 co-exhibitors. Clearly your members find this an attractive offer. Heinzel: A large presentation in a prominent position at the show is of course just the right kind of setting for our member companies and they benefit from it. The idea of a joint presentation means that the booth is perceived by trade visitors as a central information platform which brings suppliers and users into contact with each other in an efficient way. That certainly contributes to the success of the individual presentations by these companies. The exhibitors also save time and money, as they are able to use the services and infrastructure provided by the Informationsstelle Edelstahl Rostfrei. Why would it be beneficial for exhibitors to sign up co-exhibitors to their booth? Heinzel: Here, too, the benefits of cooperation come to play: In all the entries in the online catalog, all the co-exhibitors are also listed. And that means more efficient visitor acquisition for all those concerned and it gives the presentation more weight. Co-exhibitors do not have their own booth. How much of an impact do they then make at BAU? Heinzel: The press work done by the Informationsstelle Edelstahl Rostfrei ahead of BAU not only
The presentation by GKD—Gebr. Kufferath AG (r.) at the joint stand of the Informationsstelle Edelstahl Rostfrei (l.) at BAU is over 50 m² in size
Dr. Kufferath, what kind of a presentation are you putting on at the booth of Informationsstelle Edelstahl Rostfrei?
Exhibitors and co-exhibitors: It’s a win-win situation for both sides, would you agree? Heinzel: Very much so!
Dr. Kufferath: Our first cautious steps in working together back in 2007 encouraged us to continually expand our presentation at this joint stand with ISER. For six years now we have had 56 square meters of space at the head of the ISER stand. With our metal mesh we form a visual link between the material focus of ISER and our broad spectrum of applications and system solutions for high-spec facades and ceilings, solar shading and transparent media facades. In that way the visitors gain a detailed picture of our systems competence and the way in which our products lend an inimitable look to top architecture around the world, while meeting all requirements in terms of future functionality. We support our fellow co-exhibitors and the overall
Dr. Kufferath: Absolutely! The Informationsstelle Edelstahl Rostfrei benefits from the visitors that are coming specifically to see GKD. And we make use of the attractiveness of this joint presentation to reach out to new customers.

BAU plus! Three high-caliber forums set out the future of architecture, the building trades and urban planning The job of planning and building is becoming ever more complex and ever more demanding. Globalization, digitalization, demographic change, urbanization, dwindling resources, clean energy and the need to conserve energy and resources—the challenges facing the building sector are so diverse that they can only be mastered through cooperation between all those involved and through the use of new materials and technologies. So what does the future of building look like? How are architects and planners tackling these
problems? What innovative products, systems and manufacturing methods are available? Who today has a vision of what tomorrow’s built reality will be like? Experts from all over the world will be giving answers at BAU 2015. They will be reporting on their work and their projects, and answering questions from the audience; all of this takes place right in the midst of the trade show, in the forums in Halls A4, B0 and C2. All of this added value is included in the price of a ticket to BAU. We call it BAU plus.
Forum A4—Architect and Industry in Dialog
Forum A4—DETAIL research—Building the Future
The forum in Hall A4 explores the role of the architect now and in the future. It is divided into two parts. The morning and midday sessions are organized by BAU in cooperation with the architectural journals AIT and XIA, and the German interior designers association, the Bund Deutscher Innenarchitekten. Each day between 11:00 and 14:00, architects and manufacturers in the building sector will be engaging in interesting discussions on current themes. Speakers from international architectural practices and representatives from industry will be reporting on—and discussing—new developments and trends. The themes extend from the technical possibilities of timber-framed buildings to elastic materials in mobile architecture, the transformation of existing buildings, new regulations on lighting, hybrid uses and social responsibility in architecture.
Utopian visions and futuristic scenarios are a thing of the past. Architectural, urban-planning and building research is increasingly meeting the challenges of the future with specific recommendations for action and a solutions-oriented approach. On six afternoons the forum “Building the Future” by DETAIL research presents international and interdisciplinary research projects—all with a practical bias. Well known speakers give an insight into their research activities: How can urban planners and architects create a framework that can cope with ever-expanding urban communities? What is happening with the rural areas that are experiencing an ongoing exodus of people to the cities? How can we continue to build while also saving resources, and how can we best recover materials from demolition and return them to the materials cycle? How will series manufacture impact on the built environment? And what influence do we as users have on the architecture of the future?

Forum C2—The Future of Building
Forum B0—From Vision to Reality
In the Forum “The Future of Building”, once again well known planners, architects and building engineers will be setting out their vision of building design and construction for the future, and illustrating this with project examples.
Forum B0 takes a look at important overarching themes in the building sector from a number of different perspectives.
Urban life 2030: Demographic change in Western Europe and in other developed economies, and the consequences of the shift to clean energy are demanding a new definition of the city. BIM: The theoretical basis will be covered and in particular positive international examples presented. High-rises are also a political and ideological symbol, a physical, built expression of power and success. Intelligent Urbanization: Mobility, the integration of work, life and homes, climate change and dwindling energy resources—all this is demanding new urban solutions. The Next Big Thing: What will be the next really big thing in the coming years in architecture, structural engineering, lighting, design and materials? Emerging stars in emerging markets: Who are the star architects of tomorrow? Who will be building in 20 years time?
Four institutions are involved in Forum B0: Germany’s Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety; the Fraunhofer Building Innovation Alliance; the Bundesarbeitskreis Altbauerneuerung (BAKA); and the European Door and Shutter Federation e. V. (E.D.S.F.). The German Federal Ministry will be reporting in a number of lectures on research and grant initiatives and on the political goals and legal framework. The Fraunhofer Building Innovation Alliance, comprising 17 different institutions, is presenting some of its research work and illustrating this with specific project examples. Another focus in this forum is the modernization and renovation of buildings. In the lectures given by BAKA, the attention will focus on how to improve existing buildings to meet the challenges of the future. The E.D.S.F. is again organizing the forum on gates and doors.

Archi-World® Academy: Architecture for tomorrow! The world’s biggest competition for architectural students—the Archi-World® Academy—is entering the next round. The motto this time is: “Architecture for tomorrow”. About four years ago, at BAU 2011, BAU and the Archi-Europe Group launched the world’s biggest competition for architecture students: The ArchiWorld® Academy. Architecture students and young architects from around the world were invited to submit energy-saving projects and concepts for the future. The response was overwhelming. 1,287 projects from around 100 countries were received by the jury.
Archi-World® jury Chairman: Prof. Juhani Pallasmaa, Finland Deputy Chairman: Daniel Libeskind, USA Roger Duffy · USA www.som.com Philippe Samyn · Belgium www.samynandpartners.be Ibrahim Jaidah · Qatar aeb-qatar.com
Yves Besançon · Chile www.alempartebarreda.cl Thomas Herzog · Germany thomasherzogarchitekten.de Mario Cucinella · Italy mcarchitects.it Andrey Asadov · Russia www.asadov.ru Paul de Ruiter · Netherlands paulderuiter.nl
The winners were rewarded with a six-month internship in some of the world’s leading architectural practices. The top prize went to Diana Vatinyan, a young Russian who was selected by Daniel Libeskind to spend six months working in his New York office.
This new edition of the competition takes the motto of “Architecture for tomorrow”. It invites entries setting out concepts and ideas for the architecture of the future. Architectural students, individuals and groups can submit entries.

Further information is at: www.baumuenchen.de in the “Supporting program” section.
BAU Congress China exceeds all expectations The premiere of BAU Congress China on July 8 and 9, 2014 in Beijing exceeded all expectations. A total of 3,094 trade visitors registered for this two-day congress with accompanying exhibition.
Wang Lu, Xu Tiantian and Liu Xiaodu. Jürgen Engel, Head of KSP Jürgen Engel Architekten, enthused: “I think it was a fantastic event.”
BAU Congress China, which was held in the China National Convention Center (CNCC), near the Olympic Village, was organized by MMI Shanghai, a subsidiary of Messe München International. Support came from the team behind BAU. Logically, most of the attendees came from China, but trade professionals also traveled to the event from Australia, Germany, Italy, Japan and Spain. In total the registered visitors spanned ten countries, and, as an analysis of the registrations showed, they were primarily architects, engineers, urban developers, property experts and investors. Almost all the attendees were positively impressed with the high quality of the event. The Managing Director of Messe München, Dr. Reinhard Pfeiffer, had opened the event on July 8, and, by its close he was very satisfied with the decision to position a high-caliber congress in China, built upon the expertise of the world’s leading building trade show, BAU: “The great appeal and

success of the first BAU Congress China shows that this is precisely the right time for us to position this platform for quality in the People’s Republic.”
In the exhibition accompanying the congress, 42 companies from ten countries—23 of them from Germany—put on their presentations on 1,500 square meters of exhibition space. Among them were many exhibitors from BAU, for example the door and gate manufacturer Hörmann, who was the official industrial partner of BAU Congress China. The excellent attendance and high level of interest on the part of the visitors ensured that the exhibitors, too, were very satisfied with the first BAU Congress China. The German Sustainable Building Council and the
Thematically BAU Congress China was divided into two parts: the first day of the congress concentrated on sustainable urban development, and the second on integrated planning and construction. The speakers were well known planners and architects from China and Europe. Using best-practice examples they set out their ideas for the Chinese city of the future. From Germany the speakers included Thomas Auer, Jürgen Engel and Stephan Schütz, and among the speakers from China were
Fraunhofer Building Innovation Alliance—both close and long-standing partners of BAU in Munich— also contributed to this new project in China. Other partners in this first BAU Congress China were publishers Bauverlag and the Archi-Europe Group, with whom BAU has also been working closely for many years. The next BAU Congress China is scheduled provisionally for June 23 and 24, 2015.
Long Night of Architecture A highlight in the supporting program at BAU is the “Long Night of Architecture”. In 2015 it is being held for the third time. The date is Friday, January 23. The aim of this event is to build a bridge between the BAU trade fair and the City of Munich and everyone interested in architecture. The Long Night of Architecture guides visitors to the most attractive and significant buildings in the city. These include the Hypo high-rise, the Bavarian parliament, the Kare power station and the “Media Bridge”. The experience is all the more fascinating in the night-time atmosphere of the city. With many of the buildings, the “Long Night of Architecture” presents the only opportunity to take a look behind the facades.
Between 19:00 and midnight free shuttle buses will operate between the buildings, with passengers able to get on and off at any time. Inside the buses architecture students will be giving information about the buildings next up on the tour.
patron of the event is Dieter Reiter, the new Mayor of Munich. www.lange-nacht-der-architektur.de/en
In addition to the tours of the buildings, open to all, there will also be a number of guided tours, with specific focuses, as part of the program for exhibitors and visitors at BAU. These tours start at the exhibition center, and registration is required in advanced. For participants from abroad, special group arrangements with guided tours or explanations in foreign languages are available. The “Long Night of Architecture” is being organized by Messe München in cooperation with the City of Munich and the Supreme Building Authority of the Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior. The
