Tallinn Architecture Biennale 2017 has announced TAB 2017 Urban Installation Programme Open Call, offering emerging architectural talent the opportunity to design and build an experimental wooden folly in the heart of Tallinn. The competition has two stages - digital portfolios can be submitted for the first competition stage until October 15th 2016 via Biennale website.
The international open two-stage competition is challenging participants to develop creative designs for a temporary outdoor installation, making innovative use of the fabrication capacities with the Estonian wooden house manufacturers. The aim is to promote synergy between emerging designers and industry.
Curators of the TAB 2017 Installation Programme, architects Sille Pihlak and Siim Tuksam (part.archi) say the open call is driven by TAB 2017 main topic of bio-technology in architecture and urban design: “By the end of the competition, we are looking for a visionary model using principles of biological self-organization, computational material logic and the embodied algorithms of the future of bio-city for the TAB Installation Programme. The convergence of biotechnology and IT, applied to landscape and urban design is considered by many pioneers as one of the more promising future developments for our civilization. TAB 2017 will provide a showcase for the most interesting emergent actors in the field.”
The jury of the competition is led by Michael U. Hensel from the Oslo School of Architecture and Design, one of the key players in the field of sustainable architecture; other jury members include TAB 2017 curator Claudia Pasquero and the head of Estonian Museum of Architecture, Triin Ojari.
The folly will be built in August 2017 in front of the Estonian Architecture Museum in Tallinn.
All entries qualified for the second stage will be published and exhibited at TAB 2017.
The winner will have a 10000 € budget to realise the project.
