Tallinn Architecture Biennale with Terreform ONE, Mitchell Joachim


Tallinn Architecture Biennale (TAB 2022) announced the program for its 6th edition that brings forward circularity in architecture. Under the theme "Edible; Or, The Architecture of Metabolism", this year's edition explores "architectural strategies for local production and self-sufficiency" and highlights ways of reusing waste resulting from urban environments. Curated by Lydia Kallipoliti and Areti Markopoulou, in collaboration with local advisor Ivan Sergejev and assistant curator Sonia Sobrino Ralston, TAB 2022 reflects on the possibilities that natural metabolical processes can bring to cities and buildings when transferred to the domain of architecture.

Running from September 7th to October 31st, TAB 2022 brings five main events: a Curatorial Exhibition, a Symposium, a Vision Competition Exhibition, an Installation Program and an International Architecture Schools' Exhibition, accompanied by satellite events. The architectural event brings together contributions from The Cooper Union, IAAC-Advanced Architecture Group, Terreform ONE, Office for Political Innovation and AMO/OMA.

Philosophies of Sustainability with Peder Anker, Mitchell Joachim

La Biennale di Venezia announces the updated calendar of the Meetings on Architecture – Expanded Program, an intense schedule of events that includes the Meetings curated by Hashim Sarkis and a series of events organized by the Participating Countries.

Dimensions of sustainability: ecology, technology, and culture: The possible responses to the current ecological and environmental crises constitute one of the fundamental axis of How will we live together?. Sustainability has become an essential goal for every kind and scale of design. This Symposium expands the International Architecture Exhibition content through a series of conversations exploring the different dimensions of sustainability in architecture: from the realms of aesthetics and philosophy of design, to those of technology, and urban and territorial design.

Vienna Biennale for Change 2021 with Terreform ONE/ Terreform X at The MAK







Vienna Biennale for Change 2021 with Terreform ONE/ Terreform X at The MAK (Museum of Applied Arts) Austria.

The Vienna Biennale is the first event of its kind to combine art, design, and architecture, with the aim of generating creative ideas and artistic projects to help improve the world. Its category-spanning, interdisciplinary approach and combination of artistic ambition and the creative economy open up new perspectives on central topics of our time and thus promote positive change in our society. The Vienna Biennale was established with the understanding that we are living in a new modernity in which the digital revolution penetrates all areas of our life and is thus fundamentally changing our civilization.
