Valve Pormeister's Flower Pavilion (1960, on the right), and Tuljak restaurant (1965, left) in Tallinn. Pormeister is one of the greatest Estonian architects of the 20th century. Although trained as a landscape designer, she became the leading architect in the State Rural Design Office (Eesti Maaehitusprojekt), designing simple and elegant buildings well fitted into their surroundings. The two buildings in this photo, looking onto Finnish bay and Tallinn panorama, are some of her best known projects. 1990s photo by unknown author. #arhitektuurimuuseum #arhitektuurifoto #arhitektuur #architecture #valvepormeister #archiphoto #architecturalphotography #1960s #1960sarchitecture #pirita #tallinn #visittallinn #mytallinn #architectureintallinn #architectureinestonia #estonianarchitecture #classicmodernism #modernism #modernarchitecture #modern #archdaily #archidaily #architexture #archilovers #archistory #tuljak #restorantuljak #lillepaviljon #piritatee #arhitekt (at Lillepaviljon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-wt_ZMpP53/?igshid=1r2vesek3xb4x

A super elegant apartment block (combining brick and panel construction) in Tallinn's Mustamäe district. Design by Raine Karp, 1963. Built in small ensembles in various places in Mustamäe, as well as in the city of Narva.

Architect Karl Burman's 1913 club building for the sports society Kalev. Local traditional farmstead log architecture meets Nordic National Romanticism. Unfortunately, this distinctive building on the shore of the Finnish gulf in Tallinn, Estonia, burned down during WWII. #arhitektuurimuuseum #fotokogu #arhitektuur #architecture #architecturalphotography #1910s #1910sarchitecture #woodenarchitecture #logs #archilovers #architectureintallinn #estonianarchitecture #architectureinestonia #architecturelovers #destroyed #pirita #tallinn #modernarchitecture #oldarchitecture #nordicarchitecture #karlburman #logarchitecture #log #kalev #tallinnarchitecture #piritarand #vintagephotography #vintagephotos (at Pirita Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-EqzYmpAUq/?igshid=13548xloqre3q

Data centre and offices, a late modernist gem in Tallinn, built in 1978. Unfortunately, it was demolished some years back to make way for a new ministry building. The super elegant highrise was designed by architect Ülo Ilves, and the kind of mystical abstract relief (looking a bit Aztec or smth, but actually said to have been inspired by computer chips) was by the great sculptor Edgar Viies. #sovietmodernism #modernarchitecture #modernism #demolished #architecture #architectureintallinn #estonianarchitecture #integratedcircuit #abstractsculpture #arhitektuurimuuseum #computerchip #retrophoto #tallinn #latemodernism #flowers #highrise #sovmod #sovietmodern #socialistmodern #üloilves #edgarviies #architecturalrelief #monumentalart #modernistarchitecture #synthesisofarts #architecturalart #skyscraper #officebuilding #superministeerium #rkas (at Superministeerium) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-CxFcpJQg6/?igshid=1ayjx7rm1tdpy

The famous Gothic ruins of Pirita Convent, a monastery in Tallinn dedicated to St Brigitta. The main church - seen in the photo - was consecrated in 1436, and constructed under supervision of architect Hinrich Swalbart. During its heyday Pirita Convent became the largest Catholic monastery in Livonia. However, during Livonian war it was attacked by the Russian troops under Ivan the Terrible in 1557. They sacked the monastery, looted its riches and burned it down. Since then, the monastery has been abandoned. Nowadays it is used for open air events, mostly concerts. 1980s photo by Peeter Kraas. #arhitektuurimuuseum #arhitektuur #architecture #medieval #medievalarchitecture #1400s #gothic #gothicarchitecture #ruins #ruinporn #gothicruins #archiphoto #architecturephotography #architecturalphotography #oldarchitecture #architexture #history #historicalarchitecture #tallinn #architectureintallinn #visittallinn #estonia #estonianarchitecture #architectureinestonia #limestone #piritaklooster #pirita #monastery #religiousarchitecture #convent (at Pirita Klooster) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-CvibFJoC3/?igshid=1o0m4m0b8nfdk

Remembering Andres Siim (1962--2020), one of the most talented architects who entered the scene in the late 1980s with his very successful competition entries, most of which were sadly never built. This one, however, is his and Hanno Kreis' perhaps the best known realised work, the 1994 Nissan Building in Tallinn's Lasnamäe district. When built, it was hailed as the first truly modern building in town, using a language totally different from what had been the norm in previous decades, and materials that had just newly arrived in the country that had reestablished its independence 3 years earlier, in 1991... NB! See also our previous post about Siim. More coming tomorrow!

Remembering Andres Siim (1962--2020), one of the most talented architects who entered the scene in the late 1980s, first as a team member in 1988 with @vilenkunnapu and Ain Padrik, gaining the incredible 2nd prize for their fantastic entry in the competition for the West Coast Gateway in Los Angeles, just behind @studio_hani_rashid... More on that later! But first: Siim's BEAUTIFUL (influence of De Stijl? Russian Constructivists?) 1989 winning design for the Architects' Union building on Apteegi street in Tallinn Old Town. Unfortunately, like many of Siim's winning entries for prolific buildings (most of these with partners Kristel Ausing and Hanno Kreis), it was never realised... Now, surely, wherever he is, he's designing mindblowing stuff with his bestie Hanno Kreis, who sadly passed away already some time ago in 2011... Much ❤ to both Andres' and Hanno's close ones! #arhitektuurimuuseum #arhitektuur #architecture #archdaily #archidaily #archilovers #architexture #archistory #estonianarchitecture #architectureintallinn #architectureinestonia #tallinnarchitecture #tallinnoldtown #destijl #andressiim #1980sarchitecture #1980s #hannokreis #siimjakreis #arhliit #arhitektideliit #coolarchitecture #architecturelovers #tallinn #unbuilt #unrealised #unbuiltarchitecture #facade #constructivism #neoconstructivism (at Tallinn Old Town) https://www.instagram.com/p/B967j6IJhbt/?igshid=yn390y9wjzg0

Kadriorg Stadium Grandstand in Tallinn. Architect Elmar Lohk, structural engineer August Komendant, built in 1936–1938. The grandstand at Estonia’s premier stadium is a symbol of local sporting life, a great architectural achievement, daring in both form and structure. Elmar Lohk followed developments in world architecture, and the building has a strong affinity with the architecture of the Helsinki Olympic Stadium (by Yrjö Lindgren and Toivo Jäntti, 1934–1938). The grandstand is comprised of 26 parallel reinforced concrete frames, of which the 12 middle ones support the 12.8 m cantilevered roof. The roof plate is 12 cm thick. The grandstand is 112.3 m long and initially had 3,500 seats, of which 2,000 were under the roof. If you still haven't visited the great Komendant exhibition "Miracles in Concrete" at our museum, don't worry, after all the COVID-19 craze is over, we will likely extend the opening period of the exhibition! :)  Stay safe, folks! ❤❤ Photo: Martin Siplane © Museum of Estonian Architecture #arhitektuurimuuseum #arhitektuur #architecture #engineering #elmarlohk #augustkomendant #estonianarchitecture #tallinnarchitecture #architectureintallinn #kadriorg #kadriorustaadion #jalgpall #insener #miraclesinconcrete #concretearchitecture #concreteengineering #sportsarchitecture #stadium #1930s #1930sarchitecture #archistory #architexture #archilovers #archdaily #archidaily #exhibition #architecturalphotography #cantilever #cantilevered #grandstand (at Kadriorg Stadium) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9t6nfnp250/?igshid=1oopz9f6he11v

Limestone Art Nouveau / Neorenaissance: a former bank in Tallinn, designed by Jacques Rosenbaum. Built in 1909. Or more precisely: it's a XV century building reconstructed numerous times, most lately in 1945 after heavy damage by Soviet bombs.
