SWISSBAU 2024 

Swissbau 2024 - Time for encounters

As the leading platform for the Swiss construction and real estate industry, Swissbau brings together Switzerland's concentrated decision-making expertise - compressed in one place.
Every two years, Swissbau is a source of inspiration, exchange platform and innovation radar for the entire Swiss design, construction and real estate industry.

As a multi-sector trade fair and interdisciplinary event and networking platform, it brings together all experts and decision-makers along the life cycle of a property. National and international companies offer a holistic overview of innovations, trends and solutions in the construction and architecture scene.
From January 16 to 19, 2024, Swissbau will once again take place in its established form and size.

Concept Swissbau City 2024

With the concept Swissbau City the trade fair, respectively the stage for the exhibitors, will be redesigned and will form the basis for a well-rounded overall experience.

A new arrangement of aisles provides the framework for individual exhibitor presences. Ceiling-high stand presences frame the centrally located quarters with various exhibitors grouped around a small quarter meeting place. These thematically arranged quarters allow visitors to focus on their specific area of interest.

There is now a central marketplace for each theme area; Shell + building envelope, Building services engineering and Interior design. In these three marketplaces, specific communities can meet, exchange ideas and eat. In one Speakers Corner practical knowledge can be imparted.

Marketplaces

The concept Swissbau City is designing the exhibition area at Swissbau 2024. There are central Marketplaces in the three theme halls: Shell+Building Envelope in Hall 1.0, Building technology in Hall 1.1 and Interior fittings in Hall 2.2.

The marketplaces strengthen the identity of the various specialist areas and create a content and contact platform that invites you to exchange ideas and linger. As an exhibitor, they offer the ideal opportunity for an additional appearance in front of your professional audience.

Swissbau platforms

The multi-industry trade fair convinces with several platforms that stage networking, knowledge transfer and innovative product novelties.

Swissbau Focus and Lab

The two collaboration platforms Swissbau Focus and Swissbau Lab facilitate interdisciplinary dialog and form a unique network among experts and opinion leaders. All relevant stakeholders of the construction and real estate industry are involved and face the current challenges. "Shaping change together" is the motto for 2024, because solutions can only be found, discussed and tried out together.

The four key topics of climate and energy, circular economy and materials, collaboration and processes, and society and living space in transition are the focus of both collaboration platforms. This brings Swissbau Lab and Swissbau Focus closer together in terms of content. SIA, the Swiss Society of Engineers and Architects, and Bauen digital Schweiz / buildingSMART Switzerland are involved in both platforms as leading partners.

Swissbau Inside

The staging in the interior design area offers a high-quality stage for suppliers of design products in Hall 2.1 around the themes of interiors, lighting and furniture.

Hall 2.1 with its kitchen, floor/wall/ceiling, lighting, office and contract furnishing sections will have a new highlight: Swissbau Inside is the name of the high-quality stage for design products. Everything that distinguishes interior construction and interior design can be found here. Clearly arranged and uniformly presented, the focus is on the respective products and materials. Whether for public, semi-public or even private interiors, for areas of activity such as offices, retail or private homes - professional planners will find what gives the interior its character. The concept of Swissbau Inside was developed by Bureau Hindermann and impresses with its high-quality, uniform staging, as well as with the all-in packages offered to interested producers. According to the motto: well thought-out planning and implementation from a single source, exhibitors only provide products and the personnel and do not have to worry about anything else but the personal advice on site. Logo, image images and product placement in an appealing manner prepares the organizer. With an independent design, complementary to the Trend World Bathroom, which has already been successfully held since 2010.

Concept Swissbau Inside

Scaffolding clad in net vinyl divides the approximately 50 presentation areas of 20m2 each into an independent, space-creating overall structure. This structure creates a new identity for the interior design area and is supplemented with elements such as gastronomy, co-working zones, forum and possibly store. In this way, Swissbau Inside will provide Swissbau with a new platform for everything to do with interior construction and interior design, which sees itself not only as a platform for products, but also aims to promote the active exchange of professional experts in this field. On the one hand, trade associations and institutions are represented on site. On the other hand, the Inside Forum offers the opportunity to participate in current interior topics by means of expert lectures, panel discussions and workshops.

Trend world bathroom

A highlight in the area of interior design: The Trend World Bathroom inspires as a high-quality staging of the latest trends and designs for the bathroom of tomorrow. Laufen and other leading brands present the latest products and solutions to visitors.

Around one hour a day is spent in the bathroom. Projected over a year, that makes about two weeks. Not surprisingly, our expectations of the bathroom are high: The bathroom has long since ceased to be a functional space, but rather a place for comfort and design, in which well-being, aesthetics and body care take center stage.

New concepts, trends and decorative elements are turning the bathroom into an oasis of well-being for discerning tastes. Expectations have long since exceeded the classic basic fittings of toilet, washbasin, shower and bathtub. Individual design options are in demand. The trend towards modern design and atmospheric homeliness can be initiated with skilfully placed accents such as dimmable lights, vintage-look fittings or free-standing bathtubs and natural materials. Authentic materials provide haptic sensuality. Clear architecture, reduced design, visual generosity and freedom of movement underline the harmonious bathroom design.

Despite the development towards a homely bathroom, it would be a mistake to forget that the bathroom is not only, but also a functional space. Comfortable access to the bathtub, unhindered hand washing and safe exit from the shower: these are basic requirements and still elementary issues in today's bathroom design.
