"We expect that BAU 2019 will create an 'encounter' between the Architectural Design Institute and architects, developers, and building system solutions companies, which will help to promote the relationships and integration across the entire industry supply chain."

Hubert Aiwanger, the Bavarian minister of economic affairs, regional development and energy, who visited BAU China with a delegation from Germany, also underlined the significance of the event: "The numerous exhibitors and high visitor numbers are an indication of China's increasing demand for high-quality, efficient and humane buildings and urban development. With regular additions to its coverage, most recently the topic of architecture, BAU China always has its fingers on the pulse, and remains an attractive exhibition for trendsetting ideas, concepts and solutions for the construction sector."

The China Architecture Design Expo was also an event that was well attended. CADE is a segment of BAU China that has been organized for the second time in cooperation with the Architectural Society of China. The key topic of this year's exhibition was "People, Architecture and Technology". CADE offered insight into providing solutions to integrate new technology into modern architecture.

The trending topics of the industry continue to be sustainability, energy efficiency and the implementation of digital construction solutions.

With its central theme "The Future of Building in China", the BAU Congress China, an integral part of the trade fair picked up on the newest developments affecting the industry.
