Revamp: Tallinn, a project by Miguel Gilarte and Charles Curtin of Mac & Cheese – recent graduates of UTS’ Masters of Architecture program – is currently on show at the Tallinn Architecture Biennale 2019 as a part of the International Schools Exhibition, Terribly Beautiful, at the Estonian Academy of the Arts (EKA). Curated by Merilin Kaup, Margus Tammik and Ulla Alla, the exhibition showcases the latest work of academic institutions that teach architecture from around the world and investigates the architecture school as a facility for “getting (terribly) lost and making (terrible) mistakes.”
Revamp: Tallinn revisits Miguel and Charles’ graduating project, The School of the Clash, supervised by Guillermo Fernández-Abascal as part of the Master of Architecture Studio, UTS Revamp. The School of the Clashproposed a renovation of the UTS School of Architecture and a revision of its pedagogical frameworks, questioning its structures of governance and the relationship of the school to the broader profession. “The studio proposed to overhaul the existing UTS School of Architecture through renovation, challenging not only the building itself, but also the institution housed within it. As students that had been immersed in the ‘insanity’ of the school for close to 5 years at that point, we saw this project as an opportunity to reflect on the doubts and anxieties regarding our own education at UTS and our experiences working in the architectural establishment in Sydney, Australia,” explain Mac & Cheese.
Revamp: Tallinn stages a microcosm of this project, exposing its meta-context through an assemblage of furniture that provides a framework for a series of programmed and un-programmed events, discussions and confrontations to take place. The agenda of these discussions is a critical reflection on each participant’s professional and academic institutions, a wide-panning critique on the contemporary field of architecture in order to speculate on a ‘revamp’ of the architectural institutions of Tallinn. The assembly operates as a storytelling device, a studio and a forum in tandem.
The project was constructed over the course of a 4-day workshop during which an international group of recent architecture graduates collaborated to develop and build the Terribly Beautiful exhibition. Revamp: Tallinn will remain in the EKA gallery until the closing of the exhibition on the 9th October 2019 after which it will continue its life in the Estonian Academy of the Arts as an assemblage of permanent furniture.
