Exhibition of TU Delft students: A Matter of Scale: Tallinn, October 11.

The opening of the exhibition A Matter of Scale: Tallinn will take place on Friday, October 11 at 18:00 on the staircase of the EKA lobby.

This exhibition presents the results of the TU Delft graduation studio A Matter of Scale – Architecture for the European City: Tallinn, Estonia. Over the course of two semesters, TU Delft students developed projects for Tallinn, based upon a two-fold analysis: contextual analysis on a series of sites along Tallinn’s coastline, and disciplinary analysis, in the form of a precedent study, investigating Tallinn’s architecture. This analysis translates in a strong anchoring of the projects in the local conditions in Tallinn, in several ways: in establishing a relationship with the historical fabric of the medieval town, with industrial heritage, or the residential neighborhoods such as Lasnamäe; in engaging with local materiality and building practices, or with the local political context. Some of the designs can be seen as “counterprojects”, proposing alternatives to ongoing spatial developments.

With the presentation of the results of the studio at the Tallinn Architecture Biennial 2024, we hope to bring new perspectives to the local architectural debate.
