Ausgabe zur BAU 2019

Ausg.Nr._01/2019 5 Bau 2019 20,000 m² more! In 2019, for the first time BAU will cover a surface of 200.000 m² T he construction of the new exhibition halls C5 and C6 will increase the exhibition space of BAU to 200,000 square metres. BAU 2019, which will take place from 14 to 19 January 2019 at the Munich Fairgrounds, will thus use the full potential of Messe München's capacity. It is the biggest BAU since its be- ginnings in 1964. As always, the halls are organised accord- ing to materials, products and themes. The two new halls bring about some changes in the hall structure. In detail, the halls of BAU 2019 are structured as follows: Row A: Structural changes in halls A5 and A6 have an impact on the floor covering, effecting the area of row A. The layout in halls A1 to A4 will correspond to the one at BAU 2017. The area of stones, soils, building materials, and joining solutions traditionally covers 22,000 square metres in Halls A1 and A2. As usual, roof tiles and roof constructions cover the entire Hall A3. The tiles/ceramics and natural stone/cast stone areas will once again share Hall A4. The manufacturers of floor coverings will have more space compared to BAU 2017. They will now take up the entire space of the two Halls A5 and A6. Rows B and C: Halls B1/C1, B4/C4 and B6/C6 form connected exhibition areas in rows B and C. Halls C5 and C6 will also be added—thismeans 20,000 square metres more space. As always, Halls B1 and C1 will be devoted to facades, systems and aluminium profiles. The themes of locks, fittings and security also form a coher- ent area. At the centre of Halls B4 and C4 are doors and windows made of wood, aluminium, plas- tic and glass. Locks and fittings as well anti-intrusion systems, door driving technology and access-control systems complete the range. Construction tools and chemi- cal building products will also be given an extra half of the hall space, resulting from the larger total area. They will now take up the complete Halls B6 and C6. In 2019, building and facade systems made of steel will also be found in Hall B2, as well as systems, products and surfaces made of stainless steel, zinc and copper. In the direct vicinity, also in Hall B2, you will find the themes energy, building services and solar technology. A new exhibition area in Hall C2 connects the theme of light with the theme of smart build- ing/building automation. In the lighting sector, the focus is on daylight management, lighting control, lighting concepts, day- light versus artificial light. Ex- hibitors of building automation and control systems are brought together to form a link to already existing themes such as facade systems, windows and doors, and energy technology. Door and door drive technolo- gies including parking systems will once again occupy Hall B3. As ever, Hall B5 presents the extensive range of products and services offered by the wood- working industry. BAU-IT, the largest show of its kind in Europe, moves to Hall C5 in 2019, and for the first time, it covers a complete hall. It offers visitors a wide range of IT solu- tions in the fields of tender and award process, billing, project planning, measurement technol- ogy, project management, and controlling. For the first time, it also features the “Digital Vil- lage”. There, the focus is on digital building initiatives. In ad- dition to a small forum, it offers start-ups, software providers and the construction industry in gen- eral the opportunity to present their digital future concepts. Hall B0: The motto in the smaller Hall B0 is “Investing in the future”. There you will find, for instance, contact persons from institutes and associations in the construc- tion industry. The forum in Hall B0 will focus on the topics of research and funding in the con- struction industry. In addition, there will be a series of lectures on the subject of building rede- velopment.  Text & Image: Messe München GmbH Messegelände D-81823 München 14.–19.01.2019
