Reflection on BAU2025
Again, it was a pleasure attending this year BAU2025 in Munich, the premier building and architecture trade fair in the world. This event stands out as one of the most fascinating platforms for discovering innovative sustainable and smart building materials, as well as solutions for on-site energy production, management, and storage.
This year’s edition is particularly impressive, showcasing how the construction industry has made significant strides in providing the right solutions and inspiring architects and engineers alike. It's evident from the overwhelming attendance of architects, who are eager to experience these solutions firsthand and engage in direct conversations with industry experts.
While we live in an increasingly digital world, many architects we spoke to admitted that critical information and cutting-edge innovations often fail to reach them through online channels. Events like BAU2025 offer an invaluable opportunity to see, touch, and understand the latest advancements in person, bridging the gap between the virtual and physical realms.
This is not just about exploring new products; it’s about continuous learning. By engaging with experts and discovering the latest developments, architects and designers are better equipped to ensure that each new project surpasses the last.
BAU2025 offers a glimpse into the future of building, making it an unmissable event for anyone in the industry. For architects seeking inspiration and practical solutions, there’s no better place to be.

Located in the village of Puy-Sainte-Réparade, MaisonP nestles in a cosy space boasting dense vegetation on a hillside parcel offering a panoramic view over the Alps. The simple volumes of the house were designed to marry with the orientation of the land. Changes to the natural slope of the hill are thus kept to a minimum and its wild character preserved.
The project is composed of two distinct parts: the main house and a dry-stone outbuilding.
The house, with a floor area of 296 sq m, is built on one and the same level but divided into several units. The ground floor comprises three separate same height volumes: the 74 sq m. garage, the entrance/kitchen area and the bedroom/living room area, the latter containing 4 bedrooms including the master bedroom. The outbuilding, with a floor area of 95 sq m, is slightly higher than the house, and lies on the north-west part of the land.
The project is divided into two, along a plant-lined canal, transparency enhancing its perspective along the full length of the house. The entry proceeds around a pond.
MaisonP is not a monolith but an architectural composition, structured around empty spaces, in reminiscence of the bioclimatic architecture of Provence.
About PietriArchitectes
Founded in 2001 by Jean Baptiste Pietri, graduated from Paris-Belleville architecture school, PietriArchitectes located in Paris has up to about twenty partners. The agency acts especially in Parisian region and South-East of France, with a great diversity of projects. The programs of all types, as well public as private, go to an individual house, an office tower or even a luxury hotel.
The agency claims an architectural approach both demanding and poetic, built and developed around its own philosophy: “the romantic rationalism”. This concept connects well a constructive, strict and optimized conception to a precise and meaningful site analysis. The architectures are elegant, soft and timeless. The material nobility takes a primordial place in the project’s conception. This way, PietriArchitectes drew a unique ceramic for the undulating back frontage of La Barquière, a 62-housing program delivered in November 2016 in Marseille.
In 2014, the agency won two awards: a mention at Les Trophées VMZinc in the “2014 collective housing” category for Carré Seine, a housing project in Issy-les-Moulineaux, and “Le Geste d’Or” prize for the rehabilitation of La Major cathedral in Marseille. In 2016, PietriArchitectes won with two other agencies the international competition for the Rhine embankments renovation in Huningue. PietriArchitectes is also the winner of two other projects: on the side with Linkcity, for a student residence, a hotel and a nursing home conception located in Asnières-sur-Seine, but also with Vinci Immobilier for a housing program in Neuilly-sur-Seine.
In addition, the agency delivered these last months two projects: La Barquière in Marseille and La MaisonA, a private house in Aix-en-Provence.
Many projects are under construction, such as a luxury hotel named l’Hôtel des Roches in Le Lavandou, a senior residence in Brétigny-sur-Orge or even a housing program in Sarcelles.
