How can we build more housing, accelerate transformation and make construction more affordable?
These questions took center stage at the BAU PreView, where industry experts, media representatives and most of our BAU Insiders came together for a first look at the topics shaping BAU 2027. 💡
A highlight of the event was the panel discussion “Building more simply, renovating more intelligently: How do we resolve the conflict between demand, costs and quality?”, where Prof. Marcel Fratzscher, Oliver Hartmann, Wolfgang Schubert-Raab, and BAU Insider Sarah Dungs discussed ways to increase productivity, reduce costs and unlock the potential of existing buildings.
Attendees also got a first glimpse of BLACK BOX, the new experience-focused Hall B0 at BAU 2027. Far from a traditional exhibition hall, BLACK BOX will offer interactive spaces for discovery, networking and exchange, complemented by workshops, podcast recordings with the BAU Insiders and other hands-on experiences.
The conversations didn't end there: following the BAU PreView, the event transitioned seamlessly into the digitalWerk Festival, continuing the exchange on innovation, transformation and the future of the built environment.
A big thank you to everyone involved who shared their expertise and perspectives throughout the event.
We look forward to continuing the conversation at BAU 2027.
