Delivery of 1st phase by May 15, 2024
The Tallinn Architecture Biennial, committed to the search for innovative ideas in the context of contemporary architecture since 2011, also launches this year a contest aimed at selecting a proposal for a pavilion to be created for the eventscheduled in the Estonian city from 9 October to 1 December 2024.
The competition is aimed at young emerging architects, architects and multidisciplinary teams that include at least one architect.
The temporary outdoor installation will be in line with the theme “Resources for a future”created by the curatorial team Daniel A. Walser, Anhelina L. Starkova and Jaan Kuusemets for delve into the different principles of use of our resources, in architecture, building materials or urban planning.
“The For-This-Situation Pavilion” invites participants to explore new ways of using repurposed and reused resources and use bio-based materials to create adurable installation.
The goal is to offer shelter from the elements for visitors and a waiting area for buses, trains and tramslocated on the edge of the city walls, largely still intact, which surrounds the medieval historic center, a UNESCO site.
The project will have to be inspired by the concept of standing stillfocusing on the contrasts of everyday life: happiness, disappointment, security or boredom in a moment of waiting, for a message, a job interview or a meeting and will have to question themselves about materials and techniques usedfrom creation to its recycling.
The pavilion will be hosted by the new Balti Jaam square or the Baltic station of Tallinn, a public transport hub for buses, trams and trolleybuses in the city centre, a busy area and a point of reference for Tallinn residents who commute between the center and residential areas further away or living in the nearby residential neighborhoods of Kalamaja and Telliskivi, students of the Estonian Art Academy, visitors to the Balti Jaam Market and many others.
