NEWS Vision Competition: Recycling Socialism

Data końca rejestracji: 30/04/2013

Termin składania prac: 30/04/2013

Miasto: Tallinn

Kraj: Estonia

We invite architects, landscape architects, urbanists, and university students in these fields to take part in the TAB 2013 Vision Competition and envision the future of an iconic circular block-housing district – Väike-Õismäe (Little Blossom Hill).

Väike-Õismäe differs from other similar neighbourhoods in Tallinn by way of its concentric plan derived from the idea of a circle-city. The district is positioned circularly as a single, complete solution around a pond in the middle. On the one hand, Väike-Õismäe, which was recognised with a national award upon completion in the 1980s, is a clear underlying structure for further developments. On the other hand, this circle-based plan is also a limitation that gives the illusion of a functional whole, but where – similarly to other modernist apartment block areas – the environment and modern-day life are still searching for a common language.
