October 2018 saw the country of Georgia’s first architecture biennial since its independence, held in the capital city, Tbilisi. Since 1991, architecture in Georgia has been seen primarily as either a political tool or an opportunity for speculative development. Architects today are challenging this discourse and looking to architecture to address Georgia’s concerns in a meaningful way. The Tbilisi Architecture Biennial consisted of diverse exhibitions, installations and events centered in the Gldani microdistrict under the theme “Buildings Are Not Enough.”
