BOOM/ROOM presents outstanding examples of contemporary architecture from Estonia which interact in a special way with the urban context. The exhibition deals with the building boom in the Baltic Republic since the mid 1990’s. However, in consequence of the fast-paced building activities in many places fragmented urban spaces emerged. For this reason the architects’ responsibility to create new buildings with a high spatial, cultural and social quality is all the more important. BOOM / ROOM therefore shows successful Estonian architecture which interacts with the user and the surroundings by creating new types of urban movement, communication and living.

BOOM/ROOM is an exhibition by the Union of Estonian Architects, presented by the Estonian Centre of Architecture. The exhibition  curator is Pille Epner. The exhibition is part of the festival program "90 years Estonian Embassy in Berlin" and is supported by the Estonian Embassy in Berlin, the Cultural Endowment of Estonia, the Union of Estonian Architects and the Estonian Centre of Architecture.
