The third TAB was looking into the changes, challenges and opportunities that our cities and their inhabitants will be facing once the third industrial revolution is implemented in full scale and we all start using self-driving cars. What will this mean for architects, designers, urban planners? TAB turned Tallinn into a test site for the cities of the future, visualising ideas and conceptualising the way cities are built.

TAB 2015 exhibitions had 103 000 visitors. Symposion programme included 20 lecturers and 400 participants.

TAB 2013: Recycling Socialism
4-30 September, 2013
Curators: Aet Ader, Kadri Klementi, Karin Tõugu and Kaidi Õis
2013.tab.ee

TAB 2013 was exploring the modernist and socialist architecture from the 1960s to the 1980s. While dealing with the soviet era architecture, TAB aimed to inspire architects, city planners and citizens to look for the best ideas rather than presenting ready-made projects. For the first time the Sprat-Tin Hall of the Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs was open to the public. Also, for the first time since many years, the doors of Linnahall, the grand soviet concert hall, was opened for the architecture schools exhibition.

TAB hosted many well-known contemporary architects and theorists starting with Bjarke Ingels (BIG) as a jury member of the vision competition to the radical Italian architect Pier Vittorio Aureli (Dogma) as an author at the Curators’ Exhibition and speaker of the symposium.

TAB 2011: Landscape Urbanism
8-11 September, 2011
Curated by Villem Tomiste
2011.tab.ee

The very first Tallinn Architecture Biennale concentrated on the hybrid issue of landscape urbanism. TAB 2011 considered landscape urbanism as so-called ’third way’, which could possibly solve urban problems that had proved to be 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 2011 comprised of three main events: symposium Landscape Urbanism (curated by Katrin Koov), exhibition 11FLIRTS (curated by Villem Tomiste) and vision competition STREET 2020.
