The young Tallinn architects seen in this exhibition have in a fertile way combined in their works free artistic experimentation with the professional praxis of architecture. Many of them have already had the opportunity to realize also larger projects, but at the same time they have developed the sharpness of their senses and the range of their expression through traditional artistic media as well as through conceptual art, land art, happenings, and performances. This exhibition is a cross-section of the intricate working processes of a group of Tallinn architects - Ignar Fjuk, Veljo Kaasik, Tiit Kaljundi, Vilen Künnapu and others. Plans and elevations included.

This extremely interesting anthology contains 14 landscopes--different views of space, place, and landscape. Approaching their topics from various angles, as they wrestle with the effects of urban living and draw on history, mythology, and the arts to illustrate their points, the authors show that we speak in words, but think in space. Essays include: “The Overexposed City,” “Smallholdings and Great Expectations,” “Dreams of Town and Country,” “Paradise Lost and Regained,” “Landscape, Landskap, and the Body,” and more.

This book is about “The Northern Factor,” a quality that is common to the younger generation of architects represented in this exhibition. Their designs reflect topical ideas underlying the newest architecture of the northernmost Europe. The participants were selected with special concern for the substantiality of their designs and the distinctiveness of their approaches. The projects on show are buildings and plans in which a strong idea is combined with design, structure, use and the interaction between building and environment. The exhibition shows that all these starting points still essentially define the making of today’s architecture: in real architecture, the basic question is always one of lasting values. Includes color photos, blueprints/sketches, and descriptions.
