ARCHITECT@WORK 2026 in Lyon, France

The first ARCHITECT@WORK 2026 exhibition started in 2003, but events in Lyon began only in 2012–2013. Today, it is a well-established platform for architects and designers to connect.

ARCHITECT@WORK 2026 will take place at Halle Tony Garnier — an event that gains momentum each year and grows increasingly significant.

About the ARCHITECT@WORK 2026 Event

This is an exclusive exhibition platform showcasing only innovative and certified materials, systems, and solutions for architecture and interiors.
