RESTART. Transformations in Modern Housing Estates book and exhibition
Ladna in use for RESTART. Transformation on Modern Housing Estates – a book and exhibition by the Estonian Museum of Architecture, Architectuul, and the Estonian Academy of Arts; graphic design by Indrek Sirkel.
What are the opportunities and challenges for the renewal of post-WWII housing estates? What has been the shift from collective to total private ownership? Young practitioners from across Europe will look at the innovative housing estates of the past from today’s perspective, revealing their architectural background, current uses and the personal stories behind the facades. Speakers included Rajna Avramova, Hedwig van der Linden and Kevin Westerveld (Dérive), Ena Kukić and Dinko Jelečević (E+D) and the Spolka collective.
Students from the Faculty of Architecture of the Estonian Academy of Arts presented their renovation ideas using the example of typical khrushchevkas in Narva.
