Welcome to the IBA’27 Exhibition Year!

Welcome to the IBA’27 Exhibition Year!

From 24 April to 30 October 2027, the International Building Exhibition IBA’27 will showcase the results of its ten-year search for the future of housing, living and working, under the motto »RE ! BUILD !«. What will the architecture of the future look like? Climate-neutral, resource-efficient and beautiful – so that we all feel at home.

The central IBA exhibition

Immerse yourself in the ways we build, live and work in the future – in a former department store in the heart of Stuttgart: the central exhibition presents all the themes and projects of the IBA.

Weissenhof 2027

Discover Stuttgart’s Weissenhof Estate (in part a UNESCO World Heritage Site) and its surroundings in time for its 100th anniversary – including at the newly built Weissenhof.Forum visitor centre and in the Brenzkirche.

The construction site of the future

Discover new ways of building – faster and more sustainably – at the university campus in Stuttgart-Vaihingen: robots weaving walls, a high-rise with muscles, digitally designed ceilings of wicker and clay.

Thriving neighbourhood connections

Explore two pioneering, large-scale IBA projects in the heart of a typical post-war housing estate in Stuttgart-Rot: with affordable flats, new forms of housing, green spaces for a strong community, and local amenities close by.

From factory to vibrant neighbourhood

Experience the historic Neckarspinnerei factory in Wendlingen as a lively neighbourhood: working and housing merge into a productive daily life, high-tech moves into heritage buildings, and green outdoor spaces create quality of life. Along the way: a timber car park that can be converted into flats.

New life at the station

Visit the »Franck-Areal« site by Ludwigsburg railway station. Where the aroma of malt coffee once wafted through the town, a bustling urban building block is taking shape, with workshops, co-working spaces, housing and leisure facilities. Exhibitions show, among other things, how the redevelopment of the site serves as a model for productive places in transition.

Curious to find out more? Stuttgart and the surrounding region are well worth a visit: 24.4. to 30.10.2027.

New buildings, construction sites, neighbourhoods in transition: across the region, many further project locations make this transformation visible. Exhibitions and a wide range of events explain the background to the projects and make them accessible to visitors of all ages.
