The best graduation projects of architecture students of Baltic States.
Event: presentation
Time: 10.09-20.09
Set up in the public space of the Tallinn harbour area, this intervention is both a part of a research project and a contribution to the satellite programme of the Tallinn Architecture Biennale "TAB 2015 Self-Driven City". A conventional trailer for boats has been adapted for use as a part of a mobile research lab, e.g. as a drawing board for large-scale two-dimensional mappings done on tour or, in this case, as a supporting structure for a larger scale three-dimensional installation. On the macro-level this network installation represents an abstract map of the paths of individuals travelling from their departure point to their target destination with a ferry line operating regularly between Tallinn and Helsinki.
Events: opening reception / installation / bus tour and public workshop
Time: 11-13.09; 13:00-22:00
What if you looked at the construction business from a fresh angle? What if you looked at a house as a whole and not as a complicated aggregation of ventilating shafts, glazed tiles, grout and silicate. What would our houses look like if architects and designers, engineers and builders, academics and practitioners all worked together towards the same goal, in the same spacetime?
We built the KODA house thinking about these questions, about all these "what if’s".
Events: showing / cafe / talk: Hannes Tamjärv / talk: Taavi Jakobson / talk: Marek Strandberg / sounds
Time: 12.09-25.10, 07:00-22:00
Throughout the 20th century, architectural masterminds such as Jørn Utzon, Arne Jacobsen and Johan von Spreckelsen developed a strong identity in Danish architecture, built around an idiom that was minimalist, clean and functional.
Today, these same values continue and in addition the Danish architects over the past 20 to 30 years have increased focus on delivering solutions that are not only functional and beautiful, but are also sustainable.
The projects included in this exhibition are all examples of contemporary, sustainable architecture by Danish firms that merge functionality and aesthetics.
The exhibition is open in the tunnel under Vabaduse Square, Tallinn, from 12th September to 25th October at 7-22 every day.

Time: 12.09.2015-27.09.2015
New Architecture: Ireland is a traveling architecture exhibition that presents the work of six young Irish offices that have emerged during the recent economic crisis. Ireland’s financial woes during this period are well documented and this has had an enormous impact on the construction and design sector. This shift has forced architects/designers to refocus and in this way these bleak times have produced new offices and ways of thinking.

Architecture is for people. It sets the framework for our lives and meets some of our most basic needs. In order to create architecture for people it has to be created with people. That means making design a democratic process in which architects engage in a dialogue with citizens, professionals and institutions. This allows architecture to meet the needs of the users and also take into account possible needs of the future, thereby promoting a high degree of sustainability.
Danish architecture is all about creating settings that make people feel safe, generate new opportunities and encourage diversity. It is about focusing strongly on environmental and social sustainability and most importantly, it is about putting people first.
Event: exhibition
Time: 24.09.2015; 11:30-16:30
