Tallinn Architecture Biennale 2024 ‘RESOURCES FOR A FUTURE’ delves into the principles of resourceful diversity of architecture, which is instrumental in shaping a safer and fairer future. Escalating global tensions accompanied by the omnipresent wind of digitalisation, artificiality, social atomisation and material scarcity have destabilised the built environment, triggered an unprecedented variety in architectural thinking and produced a need for diversified yet stabilising qualities in architecture and urbanism. By exploring architecture through different resources — such as materials, buildings, typologies, orientation, urban planning, and society — the biennale demonstrates how we conceive, design and build architecture today and how we imagine the future to be. Though stemming from local interests the biennale has a global perspective and calls to action. Addressing both architects and the general public, TAB 2024 official programme consists of three major chapters: Curatorial Exhibition, Symposium and Installation Competition Programme. TAB 2024 events are accompanied by a satellite program, which includes workshops, conferences, seminars, and public tours.
