TAB – Tallinn Architecture Biennale
September 8-11, 2011

Tallinn Architecture Biennale is a new architecture forum that brings together theory and practice, young and experienced architects in order to arouse rich discussion over architecture, urban planning and landscape issues. First TAB concentrates on the hybrid issue of Landscape Urbanism.

Our hope is to see landscape urbanism as so-called ’third way’, which can possibly solve urban problems that have proved too difficult for traditional planning because of rapid processes, constant change and instability. Landscape urbanism could also provide answers how to guide urban processes from inside, so that the system as a whole still maintains a balance. The term ’landscape’ is used primarily as the model for consistency, responsiveness and scale.

TAB comprises of three main events: symposium Landscape Urbanism (curated by Katrin Koov), exhibition 11FLIRTS (curated by Villem Tomiste) and vision competition STREET 2020.

Organizers: Estonian Architecture Centre, Union of Estonian Architects, City of Tallinn

Team: Villem Tomiste, Katrin Koov, Endrik Mänd, Toomas Tammis, Peeter Pere, Mari-Liis Vunder, Kaire Pärnpuu, Laila Põdra, Kalle Vellevoog, Ülar Mark, Carl-Dag Lige, Alari Orav, Uku-Kristjan Küttis

Supporters: Estonian Cultural Endowment, Estonian Ministry of Culture, City of Tallinn, foreign embassies, private sponsors
