The International Garden Exhibition (IGA) 2027 Society and Circular Valley have entered into a partnership to build a pavilion made of circular building materials.
The International Garden Exhibition (IGA) will come to the Ruhr region in 2027. From April 23 to October 17 2027, visitors will be able to explore parks and gardens in more than 53 cities, participate in activities, and share their ideas about the city of the future. This exhibition's decentralized concept is what makes it special. It makes use of the region's many centers and brings people together to think about sustainable living spaces.
The Circular Valley Foundation will have a pavilion in one of the five Future Gardens, the Future Garden Duisburg. The pavilion will be made from circular materials, meaning materials and modules based on circular business models. Startups, companies, researchers, and scientists from the Circular Valley network will present their solutions and products.
They demonstrate how buildings can be designed to be flexible, durable, and resource-efficient. They also showcase what is already possible in the field of circular construction today. In keeping with the principle of circularity, the pavilion will be dismantled after the garden exhibition, then rebuilt and exhibited elsewhere.

"Our collaboration with IGA 2027 allows us to share our vision of a circular future with a broad audience. The pavilion will demonstrate sustainable construction in concrete terms and serve as a space for exchange, inspiration, and collaborative design. We look forward to collaborating with our partners to demonstrate how innovation and responsibility can coexist," says Andreas Mucke, managing director of Circular Valley's Circular Economy Accelerator.
This initiative will turn the IGA 2027 in the Ruhr region into a platform for international leaders in circular construction. Visitors will learn how to significantly reduce resource consumption in the construction sector, design more flexible, durable, and recyclable buildings, and understand why these changes are essential for life in tomorrow's cities. They should also be encouraged to follow suit.
