The selection pays homage to overlooked Soviet-era architecture
The Union of Estonian Architects celebrated its 100th anniversary on Friday, using the occasion to announce its choice of the most outstanding buildings created in the country over the last century.
Andro Mänd, president of the Association of Architects said at the event that quality architecture which has withstood the test of time is worthy of recognition.
"What is meant by architecture with a lasting value is that the architectural integrity of the building has been preserved in the form in which it was originally designed by the architect. One of the aims of this recognition is to add value to Soviet-era architecture," Mänd said, as quoted by ERR.
Only public buildings competed for the selection, but the architects’ union plans to organize a similar contest for private architecture in the future.
The Estonian Museum of Architecture is located in the Rotermann Salt Storage, a historical building in Tallinn exemplifying the best of industrial architecture. The museum boasts rich archive, photographic, model, furniture, and art collections which trace the history of Estonian architecture from the early 20th century through the present day. The photo collection includes nearly 18,000 photos and negatives, making it one of the largest accumulations of architectural photographs in Estonia.
