Staged in Kultuurikatel, a magnificent 20th century industrial building in Tallinn harbour area, the TAB-LAB Research and Development Exhibition will explore what the next industrial revolution means for architecture and the built environment.
Opening of the exhibition: September 9th, 19:00.
New forms of production, exemplified by 3D printing, robotics, self assembling and smart materials, are radically changing the way we can build and dwell. Future environments of the "self-driven city" will be characterised by responsiveness and intensified transnational influences. All of this means that, to once again quote Italian designer Massimo Vignelli, architects need to rethink the whole field “from the spoon to the city”.
TAB-LAB will showcase cutting edge designs and processes. Furthermore, it will open a forum for both creative and critical discussion on the social, political, economic and human dimensions of the current systemic transition.
NB! The exhibition is closed on September 17th.
