ARCH:ID 2026 to be Held 23-26 April at ICE BSD, Featuring 725 Booths
JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - ARCH:ID 2026 will be held as one of Indonesia’s key events for the architecture, interior, and building materials industries. The exhibition will run from 23-26 April 2026 at ICE BSD City, Tangerang.
Organised by the Indonesian Institute of Architects (IAI) together with CIS Exhibition, ARCH:ID 2026 will feature a larger scale. This year, the exhibition will present 725 booths and more than 180 participants occupying an area of 18,000 square metres.
In addition to the exhibition, ARCH:ID 2026 will also host an International Conference with 8 main speakers, 90 talk series sessions, and a total of 220 speakers from Indonesia and abroad. Other programmes to liven up the event include Featured Exhibition, Business Matching, a Hackathon competition, and the Best Booth Award.
“Through a collaborative approach between brands and architects, we aim to encourage each booth not only to appear as a product display space, but as a work with a strong narrative and design quality,” said Project Director of PT CIS Exhibition, R. Arief Sofyan Rudiantoro, quoted on Monday (20/04/2026).
He added that the presence of the Curated Best Booth Award serves as a form of appreciation while providing added value for brands in building positioning and experience at ARCH:ID 2026.
ARCH:ID 2026 adopts the theme “Synthesis Scheme - Architecture of Engagement”, positioning architecture as an open and collaborative ecosystem.
The exhibition is curated by Afwina Kamal, Trianzani Sulshi, and Dhanie Syawalia. Through this theme, architecture is viewed as the result of involvement from various disciplines, not just individual architects’ works.
Through this interdisciplinary approach, ARCH:ID becomes a meeting space for various expertise to form more comprehensive spatial experiences.
The international conference at ARCH:ID 2026 will run for two days, divided into The Urban Forum and The Architectural Forum. These forums will feature speakers from various countries discussing architecture and urban issues.
Some international speakers include Florence Chan from Hong Kong, Manuelle Gautrand from France, Marina Tabassum from Bangladesh, and Agnes Soh from Singapore.
Meanwhile, Indonesian speakers include Irene Umar from the Ministry of Creative Economy and Diana Kusumastuti from the Ministry of Public Works. Additionally, Isha Hening and Helen Agustine will represent cross-disciplinary creative perspectives.
As a B2B exhibition, ARCH:ID also serves as a platform for product launches, knowledge exchange, and professional networking. The products displayed cover renewable and sustainable architecture, smart buildings, modular solutions, and BIM (Building Information Modelling).
ARCH:ID 2026 is targeted to attract around 31,000 visitors over the four days of the event. Visitor registration can be done via arch.id/visit2026, while conference tickets are available at arch.id/conference2026.
