The exhibition will have 332 stalls and 156 display panels of work
done by architects and 36 panels of major projects. The re-designed
layout will feature a more cohesive public access and participation,
making it more attractive for the building trade.
One day of the exhibition will be dedicated for schoolchildren to
educate them on various aspects of the construction industry.
Awards will be presented to the best stallholder and for the best
display panel.
The annual conference of Architect 2016 will feature themed
presentations on architecture by a panel of local and international
architects. The event will culminate with a fellowship night.
The annual Architect's exhibition has evolved into one of the most
sought after platforms for the public to educate themselves on the
latest products and services available in the construction industry.
The Architect 2015 trade exhibition featured 175 companies occupying
304 stalls and exhibiting the latest products the industry has to offer.
Over 45,000 people visited the exhibition.
