How to build for this show: Building design language

Most exhibitors at BAU Munich — World's Leading Trade Fair for Architecture, Materials, Systems come from the Building Materials sector, so the booth should follow that industry's spatial grammar:

  • ·The product is the space: your own materials become the booth's finish
  • ·Full scale on the wall: a 1:1 material display wall
  • ·An application corner that rebuilds one real use scenario
  • ·Finish the entire booth in your own product — the decoration budget you save is the trust you gain
  • ·Keep one 1:1 application corner; it closes more than ten walls of small samples
