Following its 7th edition in 2024, an event centered around the theme "Resources For a Future," the Tallinn Architecture Biennale is coming back in 2026 with the question of "How Much?" Organised by the Estonian Centre for Architecture and curated by Stuudio TÄNA, Mark Aleksander Fischer, and Mira Samonig. From September 9 to November 30, 2026, the biennale will explore the relationship between constraint, cost, and architecture, often in the margins of the architectural discourse but inevitably shaping the built environment, to ultimately unlock new ways of understanding the meaning of value, affordability, and responsibility in architecture. The organization recently released the full program of exhibitions, workshops, concerts, family events, and films for TAB 2026, addressed to both architects and the general public.
