Tallinn Architectural Biennale 2013
FUGA Budapest Center of Architecture, 12 December 2013 – 21 January 2014

‘Recycling Socialism’ was the theme of this year’s Architectural Biennale in Tallinn, Estonia. In an effort to reflect Estonians’ conflicted relationship with the country’s Socialist past, curators hosted exhibitions in some of the capital’s most iconic and problematic buildings.
Recycling Socialism, the 2013 Tallinn Architecture Biennale (TAB), organized by the Estonian Centre of Architecture, addresses the socialist architectural legacy of Tallinn. It is a diverse programme put together by curators Kaidi Õis, Karin Tõugu, Kadri Klementi, Aet Ader, and Mari Hunt, that seeks a critical appraisal and solutions to Tallinn’s Soviet era buildingscape. The focus of TAB 2013 is Tallinn’s modernist spaces built from the 1960s through the 1980s.
