Organised by Fira de Barcelona, BBConstrumat is again decisively committing to innovation as one of the key elements for the construction sector as it has done since its inception in 2015, as it is the only sectoral event in Europe that allocates an entire space to the most innovative and transformative construction projects (Future Arena).
In this year’s edition and in collaboration with the IAAC, the fair is taking a step forward and presenting Future House, an area organised into five phases (advanced and bio-materials; robotics and advanced construction; the circular economy, IoT and Big Data, BIM and augmented, virtual and mixed reality) which form the life cycle of the construction of the house of the future with the most cutting-edge research projects carried out by nationally and internationally renowned Universities and national Technology Centres.
With the IAAC's Future House project, BBConstrumat seeks to respond to a series of challenges that the sector has put forward as a consequence of implementing new technologies to face questions such as the increase in world population, the increase in the number of inhabitants in cities, the impact of construction activity on the environment, advances in materials and the influence of artificial intelligence, Big Data and the Internet of Things (IoT).

Among the projects to be publicised in Future House, highlights include Innochain FlectoFold, a façade system made with fibre-reinforced bio-material (FRP) from the Itke institute and ICD of the University of Stuttgart (Germany); Co-working Robots from the Institute of Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC), two robot arms that will construct architectonic components in a live demonstration; Kubik and Digital Twin from Tecnalia, a dynamic and virtual model of a physical structure through Big Data; an immersive and remote experience in buildings constructed through augmented reality from the European Design Institute (IED) in Spain; and Phi from the Strelka Institute in Russia, a renewable energy management system for homes, based on blockchain and managed by citizens.
In addition, an interactive video installation with visitors, The Brain of the Future House, will be presented, which will show how these five sectors will contribute to the buildings of the future by collaborating with their inhabitants to adapt to their needs and to produce resources instead of consuming them.
