New theme-based orientation
|
 | 180,000 m² – that´s the hall space being taken up by BAU 2013. It´s the equivalent of 25 football fields, dedicated to building materials, technologies and systems. The space at BAU is divided up into categories according to product or material type, but now this established system of organization is being overlaid with another guide to orientation: BAU exhibitors can now also be found according to theme as well. Aluminum and ceramic systems' manufacturers, for example, also come under the theme of "facades", and chemical building products suppliers are also a part of the theme of "floor coverings". These overarching themes make it easier for the visitors, too, to find their way around the great diversity of products and services on show at BAU. Symbols, representing the various themes, are used to show in which halls corresponding products can be found, e.g. the facade symbol points out where to find the different products that are mainly used in facades. Set out below are the graphic symbols used for this new theme-based system of orientation. |
