Until the Soviet left 1991, most of the coast next to the city center in Tallinn was militarized and used to grow a new industry military facilities. But the “young abandoned ”place also bring a very good opportunity to the city for fulture development.

Architecture should have age and stories. When people walk into places, not only experience what they are, but also experience what they have been.

课程的场地位于波罗的海咽喉爱沙尼亚的塔林，二战及冷战复杂的政治历史背景和北欧的自然环境使这个地方产生了独特的景观。基地位于塔林北部半岛的海边森林军事遗址。学生将在对场地特殊地理环境和场地历史记忆的分析和理解上进行设计。课题完成成果可以是针对军事遗址种某一个旧建筑的改造，也可以是选择多个遗址，通过梳理故事线进行一系列构筑物的设计。课题中导师会梳理详细基地情况和背景及参考文献的提供，学生不可以自由选择基地。

场地概况：

Paljassaare – utopism and a new town For a large part of its history, the Paljassaare peninsula has existed as a separate island in an urban environment – uninhabited, godforsaken, dangerous and alluring. Paljasaare is a kind of anti-town, a spatial gap, where the wild shores offer a view of another forest: the cluster of skyscrapers that appeared in the Tallinn city centre during the 21st century frenzied building boom.

Today’s Paljassaare does not seem to belong to people at all. According to scientists, the flora here is remarkably diverse. Ornithologists are excited about the various species of birds who stop here on their migration routes and they have officially established a protection area for birds here. The property boom spreading outside the town centre is due to the attraction and value of wild nature in the middle of town, of a potential theme park. Harbours will move out, factories will close, and ecologically balanced activities will make it possible to build residences right next to the sewage plant. Tallinn is colonising its gaps.
