| BAU 2015: Resource-efficient solutions for building today and tomorrow  BAU, the World's Leading Trade Fair for Architecture, Materials and Systems, is the biggest and most important event in the sector. The next BAU takes place from January 19 to 24, 2015 at the Messe München exhibition center. Around 2,000 exhibitors from more than 40 countries and over 235,000 visitors from all around the world are expected to attend.The key role of steel and stainless steel in building construction is amply reflected in the diversity of different types of steel and steel products that are available. Applications for these materials range from urban infrastructure and bridges, earthquake- and flood-protection, high-rises and intelligent facades to lightweight construction in steel, industrial, commercial and residential building and the design of urban spaces. Hall B2 at BAU will be a showcase for the steel industry – planners, architects, engineers, the building trades, but also building clients, apprentices and students will be coming here to find out more about the present and future of building with steel. Steel manufacturers, processors, wholesalers and the trade organizations will be addressing the key themes at BAU and showing how only steel can build a sustainable future for our cities. Because no other building material can boast a complete and ongoing cycle of recovery and re-use of raw materials. With the regenerative building material steel urban mining is not a vision for the future, it has long since been a reality, as the environmental product declarations for building steel and sheet-steel profile panels confirm. Building with steel is the way forward towards a zero-waste economy. "Efficiency 4.0: Designing the future with steel" At a large 400 m2 joint stand (B2/318) bauforumstahl and its member companies will be showcasing steel solutions and products, including fire protection and corrosion protection through galvanizing, all under the motto of "Efficiency 4.0:Designing the future with steel". Visitors to this display will find the full spectrum of products and services that are available for building with steel, from steel manufacturers to building firms, wholesale suppliers etc. As in previous years topical themes in the construction industry will be explored in a Lecture Campus. Economical and sustainable: Stainless steel Leading companies from the stainless-steel sector will be exhibiting at the 456 m² joint stand of the Informationsstelle Edelstahl Rostfrei (B2/302/100), ready to provide advice to architects, planners and building clients. Attention is increasingly focusing on outside space in relation to buildings. For transport structures, urban furniture and art objects, stainless steel is a popular choice for its attractive looks and ability to withstand the rigors of busy urban spaces. Modern technology ensures very smooth surface finishes that shrug off dirt and even withstand graffiti. write your comments about the article :: © 2014 Construction News :: home page |
