The IAB Built Expo 2023 pulls in crowd.

The Institute of Architects (IAB) arranged the most prestigious building material exposition in BICC where architects and interior designers, students as well as the general public can connect to various building and interior material companies and contractors under one roof. As like every year many dealers and companies have joined to introduce their products to visitors.

The opening ceremony of IAB Built Expo 2023 took place on 7th Nov at 7 pm in BICC celebrity hall. The event was graced by Mr. Sharif Ahmed, the Honorable State Minister of the Ministry of Housing and Public Works as the Chief Guest, while Ar. Mir Manzurur Rahman, Chief Architect of the Department of Architecture, Ministry of Housing and Public Works was present as the Special Guest. The ceremony was chaired by IAB President, AR. Prof. Dr. Khandaker Shabbir Ahmed.

IAB organized two technical seminars named BUILD TALK where renowned architects shared their valuable messages and product companies like Barobi Design, RAK, GPH, TOCCO showcased their product technologies and services.

This event had an extraordinary arrangement this year. There was an exhibition of the best thesis projects came from students of various universities. There was an Architectural photography exhibition and competition on the theme of BUILT ENVIRONMENT. Asif Salman won the competition.

Architects’ unbuilt project exhibition took the visitors’ attention most. Many architects and architectural firms submitted their projects by the call of IAB which were not constructed due to various reasons. However, only selected 46 projects were presented at this event. This initiative was appreciated by everyone.

IAB also arranged the Best Exhibitor Award for the building material companies in four categories – lounge, platinum, gold & and silver. Barobi Design, Rainbow, Indigo and ART DNA won the awards. The award ceremony was held on 9th Nov but that was not the end, after watching a huge response from the public IAB extended the event one day more.
