China Architectural Design Expo 2026

China Architectural Design Expo (CADE) is an architectural design exhibition positioned as the Asia-Pacific region's first high-end building system solutions and architect exchange platform, co-hosted by the Architectural Society of China, Messe München and Zhonglian Messe.

Through connection and exchange among solution providers, architects and the full value chain, the expo advances the integration of architecture with art and technology and returns to the essence of architecture. The architectural design themed zone brings together domestic and international design institutions, presenting building materials and architectural solutions through scenographic displays that help architects realize concepts and innovation, and, around the two keywords 'breaking tradition' and 'cross-sector integration', creates a boundary-free space for exchange and cooperation.

The material innovation zone and BAU Solution area gather domestic and international building material and solution companies, offering architectural solutions and products in scenographic, experiential ways. Around themes of interest to architects, dedicated zones include sintered stone aesthetic spaces, metal materials, bamboo and wood materials, building energy-saving materials and solutions, future streetscapes, future living, and integrated floor-wall systems.

BAU Congress China, an international building technology congress, runs alongside, together with application- and practice-oriented forums and salons covering urban design and public life, high-quality architecture, people-centred architectural design, architecture and urban life, and intelligent public buildings. The expo features more than 20 activities and invites more than 200 architecture professionals to take part, offering the industry trend exchange and industry connection.
