The creative period of the interior architects Väino Tamm and Vello Asi covers almost three decades, the most active of which were the 1960s. They designed the interiors for several great public buildings playing an important role in popularising the modernist architectual language. up to today, there have been no retrospective exhibitions of Tamm and Asi's work but their designs have been displayed at the Soviet architecture and design exhibitions. The objective of this catalogue was to present as many photos of their completed works as possible, since almost is left of the original design solutions of their interiors.

Erika Nõva (Volberg) was born April 4, 1905. She is mainly known for her works of rural architecture. In addition to her professional work Erika Nõva has also participated in almost all the major architectural competitions. After Erika Nõva's death the architect's personal collection was donated to the Museum of Estonian Architecture by her family. We have chosen to publish the extracts of Erika Nõva's memoirs where the author recalls her studies at the Tallinn College of Engineering, her first years as a young professional architect in the Settlement Office, building her own home and the process of designing the State English College in Tallinn.

65 EUR*

Eliel Saarinen, winner of the 1913 Tallinn international planning competition, offered the city a grand vision for the coming 25 years and in longer perspective until the year 2000. This daring project is still a remarkable landmark in the history of Tallinn, and the town planners have referred to it later as well. Today Tallinn strives to become a metropolis and - as if afraid to be left behind - more and higher houses are built. In that context, analysing Eliel Saarinen's project that was born in the conditions of the Tsarist empire, but was able to see far ahead into the future, continues to be topical.

This publication offers a panoramic cross-section of the history of Estonian architecture through the centuries. Aesthetic quality as well as the expression of an aspect characteristic of and essential to its era were determinative in the selection of buildings for the exhibition. Among the selected objects are fortifications and sacred buildings, public bulidings fron theatres to spots structures, dwellings from the rehetare (barn-dwelling) to functionalist villas and contemporary social housing projects that all, one way or another, reflect changes in centuries, styles, rulers and views of the world. A brief overview of the events and processes that have influenced Estonian history introduces each era and commentaries are added to each architectural object.
