The workshop is looking at ways of introducing humanscale articulation in construction by developing protocols of modulation, the investigations are based on different examples from Estonian 20th-century housing. Inspired from four historical examples the tutors are asked to combine material qualities and available production methods to come up with quasiautomated models of modular assemblies. Series of resulting small installations will be presented within the permanent exhibition „Space in Motion“, Museum of Estonian Architecture. The models will be exhibited next to the original models, establishing a close dialogue between the historical precedent and the contemporary architectural approach.
The event is part of Tallinn Architecture Biennale TAB 2019, an international architecture and urban-planning festival entitled ’Beauty Matters: The Resurgence of Beauty’ and curated by London-based architect Yael Reisner.
