Architect@Work - architect meets innovation

ARCHITECT@WORK is an innovative trade fair format specially developed for architects, interior designers, technical planners and decision makers working in the field of architecture. Originally launched in Belgium, the trade fair concept has now been rolled out across various markets and is now used in as many as 31 cities across 16 European countries. This international nature allows exhibitors and visitors from different countries to connect and gain a global perspective of the latest innovations and trends in architecture.

It places the emphasis on product innovations and creative solutions for the construction and facilities sector, complemented by an extensive programme of lectures and discussions covering the latest architecture topics.

ARCHITECT@WORK is perfectly tailored to its target audience from the architecture sector, both visually and thematically, and is therefore very different from conventional trade fair formats.

More than 200 exhibitors present their new and innovative products, materials and applications, which have been closely scrutinised and curated by a panel made up of architects and interior designers. Visitors are particularly appreciative of the trade fair’s manageable size: it is neither too big nor too small, making it easy to gain a good overview and quickly make contact with exhibitors.

As an internationally focussed company, we will also be present at certain ARCHITECT@WORK events where we will present our new products, which will not only set pulses racing among architects, but will also set new standards for design. With the new Gira System 70 and the new IP door communication, we’re bringing a breath of fresh air to building technology.

Under the main theme “Decarbonizing Architecture” ARCHITECT@WORK 2026 places the consistent reduction of CO₂ emissions across the entire life cycle of buildings at the center of attention. In the face of the climate crisis and resource scarcity, one thing is clear: decarbonization is not just a technical discipline, but a key design challenge for architecture: from material choices and construction methods to building operations, adaptive reuse, and deconstruction.

ARCHITECT@WORK invites visitors to cut emissions where they occur: through low-impact materials, energy-efficient and passive design approaches, and the smart use of renewable energy. A comprehensive programme of expert talks and curated exhibition elements provides inspiration for planners who want to translate responsibility into tangible solutions and creating healthier, more resilient, and longer-lasting spaces.
