Symposium Sounds Expensive/Sümpoosion Kõlab kallilt
Advertisement
TAB 2026 peanäitusega seotud sümpoosion „Kõlab kallilt“ jätkab biennaali keskset küsimust „Palju maksab?“ ning uurib odavuse illusiooni – olukordi, kus madal algkulu ei tähenda tingimata väiksemaid tegelikke kulusid, vaid võib need hoopis tulevikku lükata.
Päeva jooksul arutletakse selle üle, kuidas arhitektid tegutsevad majanduslike piirangute, nappide ressursside ja vastandlike väärtushinnangute tingimustes ning kuidas mõjutavad tehtud valikud ruumi, materjale, tööjõudu, ligipääsetavust ja pikaajalist vastutust.
Sümpoosion toob kokku rahvusvahelised arhitektid, uurijad ja kriitikud. Peaesinejad on kirjanik, kriitik ja kuraator Phineas Harper, Toronto Ülikooli arhitektuuriprofessor Claire Zimmerman ning arhitekt ja disainer Thomas Flores ja Mathias Palazzi. Paneeldiskussioonides osalevad peanäitusel esindatud arhitektid ja kollektiivid Eestist ning mujalt maailmast, teiste seas KavaKava, Salto, Avarrus Architects, Mantas Peteraitis Architecture Studio, O—–P, SECRETARY, asphalt / Kollektiv für Architektur ja Max von Werz Architects.
Praktikapõhine programm ühendab ettekanded ja paneeldiskussioonid, tuues ühe laua taha erinevad vaated sellele, mida arhitektuur tegelikult maksab, kes selle eest maksab ning millist ruumilist kvaliteeti on võimalik piirangutest luua.

Symposium Day II: Sounds Expensive
11 september, 9:30-18:30
EKA auditorium, Põhja pst 7, 10412 Tallinn
Not everything is always as it seems. A first impression may prove misleading; simple flat-pack furniture instructions can take hours to follow; quiet, introspective people may sing with unexpected force; and a cheaply constructed building can become expensive over time. In architecture, such illusions are daily companions, especially when factoring cost into architectural practice and thinking. Beyond the illusion of cheapness, where reduced upfront costs postpone expenses and responsibilities into the future, the accompanying symposium extends this inquiry into how architects navigate economies, constraints and systems of values.
The symposium is structured as a practice-driven debate connected to TAB 2026’s main exhibition. It brings together exhibition participants to present their work and situate their practices in dialogue with others through panel discussions. Each session is opened by invited architectural thinkers giving keynotes that introduce thematic blocks. working closely with the Biennale’s theme. Writer, curator and architectural critic Phineas Harper considers how much illusion is embedded in narratives of budgetary scarcity; Professor of Architecture Claire Zimmerman reflects on the relation between cost, access, class and intention; and architects and designers Thomas Flores and Mathias Palazzi propose an updated understanding of architectural frugality through the lens of excess.
