由爱沙尼亚建筑中心组织、伦敦建筑师Yael Reisner博士策展的第5届塔林建筑双年展（TAB 2019）于9月中旬正式开放，且在开放周期间，已经迎接了来自超过25个国家的2000多名访客，创造了新的记录。本届双年展以“Beauty Matters”为主题，旨在打破近80年来的文化偏见，关注并歌颂建筑带来的美学体验。

The 5th edition of Tallinn Architecture Biennale (TAB 2019) organised by the Estonian Centre for Architecture and curated by London-based architect Dr. Yael Reisner, has closed its Opening Week (September 11th – 15th, 2019) having welcomed a new record of circa 2.000 visitors from more than 25 countries, spanning from Europe to Australia, from the USA to Japan, from Canada to Mexico. Dedicated to the provocative theme Beauty Matters, this promising edition of the international architecture festival, which continues until November 17th, 2019 celebrates the aesthetic experience in architecture, after almost 80 years of cultural bias.

官方的计划包含五项主要活动：策展人大展、研讨会、视觉竞赛展、装置计划以及国际建筑学院展。与此同时，双年展还将推行“行星计划”，在全城的不同场地举办展览、讲座、装置展和电影放映等20多项活动。此外，塔林创意中心（Tallinn Creative Hub）还将设置TAB俱乐部，为人们提供获取信息以及集会交谈的空间。

The Official Programme consists of five main events: A Curatorial Exhibition, a Symposium, a Vision Competition Exhibition, an Installation Programme, and an International Architecture Schools’ Exhibition. In parallel, these events have been enriched by a Satellite Programme, comprising of 20 collateral activities and events – exhibitions, lectures, installations and architectural film screenings all over the city; and by TAB Club, an information hub and a meeting place at Tallinn Creative Hub (Kultuurikatel).

本届双年展的主展场是爱沙尼亚建筑博物馆，在进入建筑之前，来访者将首先看到矗立在博物馆前方草坪上的大型装置“Steampunk ”（蒸汽朋克）。该装置由Gwyllim Jahn, Cameron Newnham (Fologram, AU), Soomeen Hahm Design (UK), Igor Pantic (UK)和Format Engineers共同完成，是去年举办的名为“Huts and Habitats” 的装置设计竞赛的获胜作品。这座壮观的木制结构成为了本届双年展主题的一个极为突出的表现形式，并将一直保留到2021年的双年展开幕。

In the first-floor foyer, an exhibition of the models created by the 12 finalists of the Installation Programme Competition Huts and Habitats preludes the main Curatorial Exhibition, whilst the winning installation Steampunk by Gwyllim Jahn, Cameron Newnham (Fologram, AU), Soomeen Hahm Design (UK), Igor Pantic (UK), Format Engineers (UK) stands fiercely on top of a small mound outside the museum. The timber installation gives the topics raised during TAB a prominent visual manifestation in the cityscape and will remain in place until the next edition in 2021.

策展人大展将在爱沙尼亚建筑博物馆的Rotermann Salt Storage大厅举行，其目的是提高美学地位，并借此来对那些异化的、不利于生态的建筑做出回应。首席策展人对此表示：“对美的追求必将走向深刻——建筑学所包含的挑战，与诗歌、神精生物学、数学以及政治中的挑战并无二致。本次展览邀请了8位建筑师（包括2位爱沙尼亚建筑师和6位国际建筑师）来迎接这份挑战，在城市环境中创造一条感受和体验美的通道。”

Held in the Great Hall of the Rotermann Salt Storage, now housing the Museum of Estonian Architecture, the Curatorial Exhibition Beauty Matters, aims to elevate the status of beauty in response to alienating and ecologically unfit built environments. “Aspiring to beauty is aiming at depth — the true challenge in architecture, as it is in poetry, neurobiology, mathematics, or politics. The eight architects, two Estonian and six from around the world, who were invited to contribute to the Curatorial Exhibition were challenged to design a project that is both local to Tallinn and global; a conduit for the emotional experience of beauty in an urban context”, asserts the Head Curator.
