Tallinn Architecture Biennale (TAB 2022) - Curatorial finalists

The Estonian Centre for Architecture has announced the list of the five finalist curatorial teams of the 6th edition of the Tallinn International Architecture Biennial - TAB 2022. Competitors had been asked to propose an innovative theme linked to Estonia’s context and relevant to the world of contemporary architecture. Among the finalists, we were favourably impressed by the theme presented by the “Emotionalism” team, rooted in the idea that today an increasingly driven digitisation is devaluing “humanity”. Their Biennale will therefore be focused on uncovering new ideas and proposals, through design, that reaffirm the centrality of what makes us human.
