Tallinn Architecture Biennale TAB 2026 Curatorial Competition , Tallinn / Estland

 

Estonian Centre for Architecture, Tallinn

 

The Estonian Centre for Architecture (ECA) invites proposals for the curatorial concept of the eighth edition of the Tallinn Architecture Biennale (TAB) 2026.

 

Founded in 2011, Tallinn Architecture Biennale is Estonia’s foremost international festival dedicated to architecture and the built environment. The TAB is organized by the Estonian Centre for Architecture.

 

The appointed curatorial team will be entrusted with formulating a central concept for TAB 2026. The TAB 2026 must engage spatial and architectural possibilities, with a clear connection to the Estonian context—broadly defined to include regional linkages, such as those with the Baltic or Nordic countries. The theme should possess conceptual clarity and topical urgency, with the potential to resonate with broader national and international architectural and cultural discourse.
