The 8th edition of Tallinn Architecture Biennale (TAB 2026) (www.tab.ee) will question cost, value, and sustainability in architecture with the theme “How Much?”. Curated by Kertu Johanna Jõeste, Ra Martin Puhkan and Siim Tanel Tõnisson from Stuudio TÄNA (www.stuudiotäna.ee) (Estonia) together with Mark Aleksander Fischer (Estonia) and Mira Samonig (Austria), TAB 2026 will run from September 9th – November 30th, 2026.
TAB 2026 examines the paradox of “cheapness” in architecture, encouraging architects to innovate within financial constraints while considering the broader, often hidden, costs of construction: social, ecological, and temporal. Rather than simply focusing on the price of materials or construction, TAB 2026 challenges architects to think about the long-term consequences of design choices, including their impact on communities and the environment.
