ABOUT IBA’27

The aim of the IBA’27 (International Building Exhibition / Internationale Bauausstellung 2027 StadtRegion Stuttgart) is to showcase solutions to the challenges of urban planning and design in the 21st century. One hundred years after the opening of the Weissenhof Estate (Weissenhofsiedlung), a prime example of classical modernism with its striking housing units fuelling the social discussion on work, housing and life in the industrial age of the 20th century, the Stuttgart Region sees the IBA’27 as a vehicle for a new societal debate on the sustainability of urban lifestyles.

The goal of the IBA’27 is to anticipate the upcoming structural changes and showcase solutions to the challenges of urban planning and design of the 21st century: New forms of inter-municipal and regional cooperation, new work spaces and the future of industry, affordable living and housing, environmental and climate protection requirements, sustainable forms of urban mobility.
