Date: 2013-09-04

Time: 20:00

Location: Linnahall foyer (Mere pst 20)

Price: free

The international Architecture Schools' Exhibition presents innovative ways of studying, preserving, and, if necessary, redefining architecture and its values. What kind of means and methods can be used for that? The exhibition showcases the challenges of spatial creation: exploring and experimenting, and the future potentials rising from that – with the world's leading architecture schools as examples. Presentations of the exhibited works, discussions and guided tours of Linnahall will take place during the opening week of the Biennale. The exhibition remains open until September 29th.

Built for the Olympic Games of 1980 as a Sport and Cultural Center in Tallinn harbor, the Linnahall is a huge abandoned complex which belongs to the archeology of the Soviet empire.
Too big to be used, too big to be demolished.
Inside the Linnahall our students are preparing the exhibit of our Design Studio.
