Beyond Building Barcelona-
Construmat
International Building Show
Beyond Building Barcelona-Construmat,
the revamped International Building
Show, focused on the future of the in-
dustry. 3D printers, the Internet of Things,
robots and drones for construction
fascinated the more than 54,000 visitors
to the event.
Construmat made concerted efforts
to provide a platform for access to new
international markets. At the Contract Fo-
rum, for instance, 217 projects in search
of suppliers, and 1,975 VIP buyers were
invited to attend. Finally, B2B contacts
were encouraged through 710 meetings.
Besides a great business show-
case, BBB-Construmat organised a
full programme of technical seminars.
Experts like the Dutch architect Kees
Kaan; Skylar Tibbits, professor at the MIT
Architecture Department; and the British
architect Alastair Parvin, co-founder of
the WikiHouse project for open coopera-
tion, among others, all took part in the
sessions.
Finally, the BBB-Construmat Prizes
were awarded to buildings, engineering
works, new products and social projects.
