Dear Sir/Madam,

I am a Master of Architecture and City Planning from Estonian Academy of Arts. I am looking for an

architect's (or relevant) job in Your country/company.

For about 5 years, I have worked as an architect/architect's assistant in the following architecture and

design bureaus in Estonia: Ado Eigi Architecture Bureau, Hayashi&Grossschmidt Architecture,

TenTwelve etc. Also, I have worked as a freelance architect/constructor. I have an experience of working

on all stages of architectural projects, and my experience ranges from art to technical drawings. Also, I

have on-site experience of construction, few years of manufacturing work (granite factory Diapol Eesti

OÜ) and I have attended a one year program industrial and civile construction, as well as a Course of

Starting Entrepreneurs in Tallinn University of Technology. Yet, despite the technical inclination of my

experience, I find myself strongest in working on behalf of the spiritual (art) side of architecture. I am

flexible, eager to develop with Your company and educate myself in new instruments.

Please find my architecture portfolio on the following web page:

ABSTRACT

General PlanningPaldiski, Estonia

Paldiski is a former militarytown located in 50 km

from the capital of Es-tonia. Established by

Peter the Great in 18. century, Paldiski used to be one of the most important harbours in

Russia, The town used to be a military base of

Soviet Union for about 50 years.

The town has 3 main his-torical layers: a gar-den-town from Republic of Estonia (1920-39),

stalinist regular plan-ning and a pannel-house-

district, that has no link to the genius loci

of the town.A city that once had

16000 inhabitants, has now, after Russian army

has left the country, only 4200, but it is

decided to create 2000 new workplaces in ports. Of course there is a lot

of abandoned environ-ment and the centrally

planned town is very sparse, attractive for industry to swamp the

whole town in a location with spectacular nature

(seaside with a cliff is the main attractor of

Paldiski).

ABSTRACT

yen to the sea

The approach of the project is to minimize the scale of ecological units in order to create variegated en-

vironment and not let it tear into industrial area, slum, and wasteland.

The ecological scheme of planning creates an experi-mental short-gradient distinction between industrial

(nuclear richest) and natural (nuclear poorest) areas. The responsible role of a gradient is put upon living houses. The argument is to bring the whole diversity of an environment to an appartment, letting it open

both to industrial and park area side. For example the access to the building by car is possible only from

industrial area.

Zoning scheme of the town: park areas are buffered from industrial areas by long residential houses

Potential orientation of the town to the seaside that is now closed.

ABSTRACT

According to my general planning of the town, I designed an appartment building

at the main square of Paldiski, between a town council, central park, greenhouses, industrial area and a quarter of private

dwellings.The most important designer of this house is sunlight. How it is achieved, derives

from existing typology. Filling a hole in a row of stalinist barracs of revisual-

ized main axis of Paldiski, the space is already bordered. By mutation of the bar-rack form and repeating a spacial module, a 276 metres long house is created with a

width of about 10 metres.

The surrounding space carries a function of uniting the environment of diversity

together, offering a best quality of pub-lic living space with parks, streets and

social functions at the main square side.

ABSTRACT

Appartments, varying from

40 to 200 square metres in area and 1

to 2 floors in height, are paired by a

possibility of uniting them.

The inner struc-ture (form of stair halls, walls between appartments)

also follows the form of facade, seeking a less

lit place in the building body.

ABSTRACT

ONE OF THE SYMMETRICAL HALFS OF THE 2. FLOOR PLAN

An appartment as a living unit tries to have as much freedom as left from different demands. The

rooms are divided into two main categories: multi-functional central space and peripherical special space. Only a conventional occupier calls them a kitchen/living room and sleeping rooms. Actually

the appartment is articulated by three cathegories of space by the amount of light: rooms with windows (yellow in plan), rooms lit through the other rooms (green), and artificially lit rooms (purple). There is a certain variety of the form and lightedness of

rooms, but a freedom to use them.

ABSTRACT

The task of the competition was to plan an Estonian Art Academy building (30000 m2)

on a tiny (about 4000 m2) plot in the very centre of the capital city Tallinn. There are about 1200 students screaming for an inspiring space studying there, from the

whole range of artistic fields. EAA is one of the most important cultural temples

in Estonia and has a monopolic status in teaching many professions in the country.

ABSTRACT

What to mean by “a university-skyscraper”?

The interests of a university definitely requires a private space where to work

in best conditions and peace, as well as public area of good and wide relations

with the diversity of society and culture. So EAA has to not be monofunctional and

closed, although thematical. It has to have good infrastructure that both unites the university to be a strong whole in itself

and continue the public space of the city. Artists are oriented in presenting what

they create and the public consumes their art. Students and public, concrete and gen-

eral, public and private belong into one symbiosis.

In these means I propose a private-public

skyscraper. The infrastructure of the tower is bihelix: 2 staircases in the perimeter-

public and private, 2 elevator schafts: private opening into the building and pub-lic from the public square and pedestrian

walkway.

The skyscraper has to use it´s best pos-sibilities: good access between floors,

because vertical movement is quicker, thus more effective than horisontal.

Public skyscraper: an all people´s way to the sky, surronded by public exhibitions,

performances, amateur workshops; something like a public university

Private skyscraper: art academy inner way to the sky, that unites the professional

art academy.

ABSTRACT

The site is situated at the premier location in Tartu,

where all perimeters can enjoy views. The proposal is to

bring in light and nature in a discrete manner, by cutting the building volume and creat-ing pockets for personalized

parks close to people at work. This cutting-in optimizes us-able depth of building as well

as produces several loosely separated zones within the same

floor. Glass curtain wall surrounding these cut-ins con-

trasts to the horizontal ribbon windows in the main facade,

which bounds exterior views as picture frames rather than show

at full extent. Main facade refers to the existing stone retaining wall. The forest

behind is quite a hidden place at the moment. The proposal is to provide a secondary en-trance also to that side and a balcony for making the forest more accessible and friend-

lier. The ground floor is for up-scale retail with mezzanine

floor, which receives soft light through the dry area on the forest side. Upper floors for offices have various floor area thanks to 3-dimensionally

articulated cut-ins.


ARCHITECTURE

PAINTINGINTO

ABSTRACT

It´s a shop-and-bureau-build-ing, that is located in a very

visible place at one of the main squares in Estonian uni-

versity-town Tartu. It has three sides of viewing with

a different character: park-, street- and square-side. So

there are also 4 entrances. Every entrance is marked by

a diffusion-incision in front of it. The incisions work like outer atriums that bring light

to sufficient part of the building.

The facade-solution works in a contrast-principle. The brick

pattern of the outside shell is derived from a granite-wall of

a lifted park behind the build-ing and continues it. Full-

glass-curtain-wall-incisions transfer most of the demanded

daylight into the building and reflect great part of it.

I. ANALYZEPõhja-Tallinn peninsula - a land behind city centre.

PENINSULA IS A CERTAIN TYPE OF GEOSYSTEM THAT PROMOTES CERTAIN THINGS AND RATHER DOESN’T PROMOTE THE OTHERS. WHAT DOES IT PROMOTE? - IT HAS A TENDENCY TO BE LEFT ASIDE OF HUMAN ACTIV-ITY AND MOST INTENSIVE ROADSPõhja-Tallinn has a special position among the 8 communities of Tallinn. Surrounded by sea from 3 sides, it contains about 45% of the seashore of Tallinn. To reach it by land means to fi rst move through city centre.

Statistics of Põhja-Tallinn:NO of inhabitants in 2004 According to nation-registry, 56 044Medium density in 2004 3 697 in/km² (in Tallinn 2 464 in/km²).NO of enterprises per 1000 in. 68 (medium in Estonia 30; medium in Tallinn 53) and recently increasedNO of enterprises 2003 1792Local live-workers 01.01.2004 19016 (7087 (37%) in processing industry, 3012 (16%) in transit and logistics, in social service and medicine 2030 (11%)Most of the workplaces in the treshold of city centre and at the end of KopliNO of huge enterprises 9 Biggest profi ts logistics 21 650 000 krones, 14,53 Enterprises with Increasing share 2001-2003 real estate, renting, business (91,2%), electricity, gas, water (66%), wholesale and exchange (36,4%), construction (16,7%)Enterprises with stabile share 2001-2003 processing industry (increase 9,2%), social service and medi cine Enterprises with decreasing share 2001-2003 fi nance (-64%), transit and logistics (-26%), retail (-25%)

Which place is the right one for the centre of Põhja-Tallinn?

There are about a dozen relatively equal small centres in Põhja-Tallinn, containing few shops and other facilities. These centres are located mainly in public transport stops.Centres everywhere also tend to locate at important road junctions. Centres also tend to locate in the border-zones of dif-ferent districts.Why should the centre of Põhja-Tallinn be located in Sitsi area?

1) Sitsi area has a regionally central position,2) It is located in a higher position (Sitsimägi), a most suitable point for potential architectural landmarks, as seen both fromthe centre side in the South and Kopli in the North, not mentioning views from the sea.3) In Middle Ages, the oldest house in Kopli - the district in the top of the peninsula, that from then until the beginning of 20.century has been used as pasturelands, was located there.4) From the beginning of 20. century on, the development of Kopli, Karjamaa and Sitsi districts and else was leaded by Sitsi cotton factory (Balti Manufaktuur), that worked as a magnet for most of the people from new surrounding districts, who were working there in daytime. So the surrounding districts formed around Sitsi district.5) Sitsi area is located near the narrowest point of the peninsula (about a kilometre wide). Thus, sandy Stroomi beach in the North-West, hyperactive in summer, lies in a short walking distance from Sitsi area, and in two corners of the area, there lay two industrial areas leading to the city, with a potential and plans of development as a lively residential city space.6) As well, the area has a lot of development potential in itself, although being now closed and partially abandoned, and containing temporary logistical functions. The land value there is certainly rising.7) The area lays right between the main heavy traffi c lines (Tööstuse, Sõle, Kopli, Erika and Ristiku street) connecting the peninsula to other parts of the city. The area is also surrounded by simply all the public transport routes in the peninsula, including tram, trolley- and autobus trajectories. The area also lays right next to a planned heavy traffi c road about to con-nect eastern and western part of the city northwize from the city centre.8) Sitsi area also has good visual connection to the symbolic siluet of the city centre in the South.9) Sitsi area is located next to a potential park and recreation corridor connecting the city centre with urban woodland Stroomi forest and the sea in the west side of Tallinn city centre.10) Although located in walking distance from the city centre, most of the settlements of Põhja-Tallinn are cut off from it, creating separate islands connected only public transport and car traffi c lines. Therefore an establishment of a new re-gional centre is reasonable in the peninsula.10) There is no better place. Further in the east, there is a city-planned junction of historical Kopli road and new Sõle street.All means of public transport, as well as the heavy traffi c car roads meet there, this is also terminal station for one bus line. But understandably less people travel there everyday, because they have more to do near the centre of Tallinn.

Foreseen development of the regional centre of Põhja-Tallinn:

1) using existing structure (developing new structure from existing industrial buildings and adding new structure + buildings. Between them designed public space (commonly pedestrian and cyclinga areas)2) ehituskonstruktsioon kui tuulevari lääne- ja põhjatuulte eest;3) Solar panels + solar dependent building design4) Well developed public space

Prolonging the city centre

In order to awaken the peninsula, our planning proposes a prolonging the city centre by a kind of an open fl ow.Prolonging the city centre wouldn’t necessarily mean creating another centre, but also an expansion of some good qualities characteristic to the centre, imported to the side of the good qualities of a suburb. As a result, new hybrid, park-like environ-ments are created, that work as symbolic places and generators of social life. (This involves a new layer of social infrastructure: opening borders of spaces, encouraging communication between old and new centre by slow movement and increasing mobility in light traffi c roads.)Densities

In large scale, two main areas can be distinguished in means of density in present Põhja-Tallinn peninsula:1. city centre side of the peninsula and2. Kopli and Paljassaare peninsulas after the narrowest part of the between two bays.The character of in Kopli and Paljassaare peninsulas can by characterized by sparseness: A LOT OF EMPTY AREAS. As one scenario, this makes us to consider the passive development: leaving some or all the areas sparse, and use them for natural, recreation and light entertainment purposes) and concentrate the settlements into the rest of the peninsula closer to the city centre.As our analysis shows, near the proposed centre of Põhja-Tallinn in Sitsi area, density is distributed West to East - the areas with the highest density are the living areas next to Stromi beach, where buildings are up to about 14-20 story high. In the central area 2-3-story-high buildings prevail. The areas on the north and north-east are mainly used by industry and closed green areas.Undeveloped areasAbout a half of the area of Põhja-Tallinn is now abandoned or in a poor state, waiting for development. The population of Põhja-Tallinn now is 55 000 people. According to these numbers, we foresee the increase of the population of Põhja-Tallinn up to about 100 000 inhabitants, and therefore the fulfi lment of perspective these areas with valuable city space. IndustriesIn 2003. 11 out of 16 of the sea-ports of Tallinn were located In Põhja-Tallinn. But in means of land transport, Põhja-Tallinn is not a good location for industries, because reaching there is through city centre. Previously the connection had occured by the reailway, which has been destroyed long ago. Nowadays industry tends to leave the city center, moving to its border areas or outside the city. Therefore we foresee the absolute freeing of the peninsula from heavy industry.

Enterprises and trade

The range of enterprises is very wide in Põhja-Tallinn. It’s a hinterland for economical activity different parts of Tallinn, tran-sit harbours and the city centre. The industries here produce for whole Eestonia, and less locally.Traffi c network

As industry is leaving the peninsula, that so far has been heavily used for this and oil transit purposes, the means of traffi c change essentially. The priority is shifted from cargo train and heavy transit into light traffi c. The main quest about heavy traffi c is to satisfy the needs of the new local district centre in Sitsi area.

Foreseen functions of car traffi c system:

1) Access2) Service transportPublic transport system

The system of public transport loses it’s intensity heading towards the end of the Peninsula. To respond this issue - to not let vehicules cover distances empty, in Sitsi area a junction will be created, where some buses turn back to the city, but the others (tram, trolley and autobus) cross each other all in one point. All the people travelling from the city centre towards Kopli or vice versa cross this point, whenever using public transport in the district. Thus, an active public place will be created, and accompanied with the symbolic meaning of a regional centre. This, accompanied with a public promenade created in a strategical place in Sitsi area, will be the fi rst gust of the development in Põhja-Tallinn.

Foreseen functions of the tram network:

1) The axis of public space2) Experiental cohesion of space3) Dispositioning people4) Uniting people socially (random meetings, extending public space)Pedestrian and light traffi c system

PRIVILEGE THE FIRST OF THEM.))2. THE DIVISION BETWEEN THESE SPACES DEPENDS ON THE SCALES. THE PRINCIPLES IN THE CONCRETE LOCATION ARE THE FOLLOWING: 1) CONNECT CITY CENTRE WITH THE CENTRE OF PÕHJA-TALLINN AS STRONGLY AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT DESTRUCTIONS. 2) CREATE A ZONE AROUND PÕHJA-TALLINN CENTRE WITH THE DIAMETER OF ABOUT A MILE, THAT IS ALSO CONNECTED WITHOUT DESTRUCTIONS. 3) CREATE TWO TRAM LINES THAT CONNECT KOPLI AND PALJASSAARE WITH PÕHJA-TALLINN CENTRE. 4) CREATE AS MANY CONTINUOUS PUBLIC SPACES ON KOPLI AND PALJASSAARE PENINSULAS, AS POSSIBLE.((3.

1. The location related to natural fl ows is important. Nutrient-rich pollution should be in the downstream of fl ows, and cleaner outlet should be in upstream, so that cleaner places would remain clean, and polluted would remain polluted. 2. Maximum water treatment – all green areas in charge.

Sun and energy

1)Maximum use of sun pannels (sun pannel-window-pattern) 1m2 of solar panel gives us in Estonia 130kWh energy per year. For 68m2 of street illumination it means 4m2 of solar panels for one year to illuminate with LED technologu street lights.2)Maximum use of daylight instead of artifi cial

Housing types and pattern

The housing pattern in our planning consists of the variations of constructions following the following principles: 1.The amount of public and private fl oor is not strictly determined, but is open to develop self-regulatory way in preset limits.2.The development intensity and character are following certain gradients: concentrically and linearly around certain cen-tres (tramstops as social centres).

Public space types

Creating symbols of ecology: passive houses, solar pannels, nature as public space.

II. THEORYUNDERLINING QUESTIONS:

a) 1. Lifestyle: What kind of lifestyle we promote? (())b) 2. Place: What is the speciality of the place in macro, meso and micro scale? (This includes climate and nature) c) 3. Architecture and city planning theory: Which is our theoretical basis?ECOLOGICAL INFLUENCES OF HUMAN ACTIVITY ON NATURE:

1. area-infl uence: the bigger the area, the bigger the amount of the impact (infl uence per square kilometre)2. concentrical infl uence. The infl uence spreading into every side with equally lowering intensity. (infl uence; radius)

CRITERIAS OF ECOLOGICAL PLANNING

1) OBJECTS (establishments in a landscape): d) Path – monofunctional spacee) Building – a construction for isolating a human activity from surrounding environmentf) „Landscape architecture“ – the result of rearrangeing soilg) Material – dispositioned by human activity

2) AFFECTS ON ENVIRONMENT (ecological footprint): A) Matter and materialsa) Input of materials for the establishment of the objectb) Output of matter for the establishment of the objectc) Regular input of materialsd) Regular output of mattere) Special input of materials, matter (i. e. in case of danger)f) Special output of materials/matter (i. e. in case of danger)B) Energya) Input of energy for the establishment of the objectb) Regular input of energyc) Special input of energy (i. e. in case of danger)

3) CHARACTER OF PROCESS (PRODUCTIVITY PER WASTING?) REVEALED

1. DICTATORSHIP OF ECOLOGY

Is self-regulatory ecology possible? The critical point for a regime is the limit where it is more reasonable to do anything than not to do it. The same way the balance of nature collapses when single spieces are displaced, it has a great affect on human activity to leave some things undone, and invent new means to compensate them. What the dictatorship of ecology means is to start to live ecologically and forget that there is also another way possible. Of course, this can be done simply by suggestions - infl uencing people mentally. Let’s be honest: not only wind is lazy, lots of people are, too, and thus when they are ‘bought’ to live ecologically on goods offered by government, they are satisfi able, and thus controllable. In the current case, with goods I mean the ones that ecology can possibly offer. In real, of course, there are no easy solutions that could be isolated from the whole system of the functioning of things in the World, but virtual things are pretty powerful sometimes.))((2. HUMAN BEING:

The greatest problem for ecology is human being. Avoiding to grow population is ecological. Also to reduce the income of people is probably the way to make people live more ecologically. (())))3. CONFLICTS

The main origin of ecological crisis in contemporary world is confl icts, in other words: the issue that, being not aware about the organism they all belong to, and that relates them all to each other, people understand things being totally separated from each other. Anything that is random in the world is bad, because it confl icts with other things in the world - this is what random means. In this sense self-regulatory economy is bad, because it just doesn’t base on the most effi cient way the world could func-tion, but being effi cient oneself and disturbing the others to do the same, instead. Thus the more economy is reasonably regulated - and this is the only way it should be regulated at all - the better. Everyone being a king is bad. Everyone being a servant is ideal.

4. EQUITY OF SPECIES: THE BORDERS BETWEEN POPULATIONS ((Biodiversity: „human rights for plants!“))((: SHEL-TER FOR EVERYONE?))

Where people live, they should live densely together. In this way, as the most simple, although very ruthless politics we would defi ne limits for the settlements (the human-modifi ed nature). In this way, the overgrowth of population could be measured in the excess of the physical body of cities over their preset outline. Of course, you could say it is a ridiculous solution, but at the end, it might be the only one we have. According to a book by Daniel Quinn “Ishmael. An Adventure of the Mind and Spirit”, this is how it used to be between Indian tribes before western invasion in America. They kept almost all of the activities of all of their population in culturalterritory they lived in, which technically meant respecting limits also in the growth of their population.((In our project, we defi ne the borders of certain types of settlements.))(ILLUSTRATION:!)

5. LIFESTYLE: ((the concept of distinction between)) THE PRIVATE AND THE PUBLIC ((emphasizes the idea that private and public “sphere” are immanent in the nature of the communities of spieces. The border between them is very delicate.))

The question „which places of living we create“ is about lifestyle - what should we have private and what should we have public. Where should a medium member of a society be located in the gradient of public and private is one of the main questions of ecology. Why public? - Private things are much more underused, as public can be fully realised. But why private? - When a thing is private, the potential of it’s use is more likely to be fulfi lled, in other words: it is probably treated with more care. When a thing is public, none cares about it more than the pressure of the society demands – this is the common sense today. How is it in the future, will depend on the relationship between individual and the society.The way to achieve ecological results can be limiting the amount of private living space per person, so that it would require less private things to fulfi l it, but the change in human minds could be achieved by less instant means, a space that creates a more collective will – a new ethics.A big antipode of ecology from contemporary society is tolerance - the understanding that anything we do is allright. Accompanied with the high value of the image of success in public, it is increasing the speed of living into meaningless results.What our planning is trying to achieve is making slowness faster than fastness, creating an environment that enriches pas-siveness, or Arvo Pärt’s words: „Concentrating on every blade of grass as it were a fl ower.“((Could we fi nd the optimum type of lifestyle in Estonia by taking into account Estonian culture?))6. EVOLVING OF SPACE ON/ALONG PATHS

The character of the space evolving along paths depends on the essence of it – the opportunities for movement on roads. As a simplifi cation, the means of movement and involved also the essence of space can be reduced back to the speeds of movement on/along these paths. As shown in the spatial analyze of Põhja-Tallinn, the local micro-centres in Põhja-Tallinn are associated with public transport stops. This tendency reveals the essential importance of public transport among the means of movement in the whole territory. The peninsula of Põhja-Tallinn is a territory close to the city centre, in which the use of private cars can becompensated into marginal position by developing means of public transport and light traffi c.

As shown in the analyze of geographical situation, Põhja-Tallinn is surrounded by sea from 3 sides, and through the fourth it is ganched on the city centre. As this creates an unsuitable position for developing transit and industry in the peninsula, our planning foresees the absolute displacement of them from the peninsula in the perspective of next 20 (?) years. What this means is also an essential change in the infrastructure of and transport scheme of the peninsula. Unlike now, the un-avoidable need for car and train transit gets lost. The orientation of the peninsula towards public transport (,also supported by the fact that the local community is relatively poor,) reveals great economical, social and cultural dependance on the city centre of Tallinn. One of the main attractors for the people of the peninsula is Balti Jaama turg – the most active open-air market in Tallinn – just in the treshold of the heartof the city seen from the side of Põhja-Tallinn peninsula. This dependance is why the territory – also, strictly cut off from thecity by a railway terminal station (Balti jaam) in the same area, if not to mention large abandoned logistical and industrial parks – bears the disadvantages of poorly developed layer of multifunctional public spaces, as only the opportunities to satisfy the most primary human needs exist. Tram stops, foyer-fronts of appartment buildings and even the temporarily de-fi ned spaces around private cars are used in place of urgently needed social space. But such artifi cial inventions still asso-ciate with the poorest classes of society, as people with higher social, cultural and economical status simply pass through these areas as they fl ew through invisible tubes to the city centre. As an inhabitant of Kopli peninsula, I am one of those who regularly travel this 5-kilometre-long journey. So, the space in Põhja-Tallinn, as well as it’s society, is not cohesive. According to the text above, there are two changes necessary in order to increase the quality of space in Põhja-Tallinn: 1) The rearrangement of car traffi c system, through displacing transit, that, as mentioned above, will make it possible to reduce it’s part on the means of mobility into marginal position.2) Development of public light traffi c network into socially, culturally and economically multifunctional continuous space, featuring the best qualities of a city centre and natural environment at once. This can be done by a creating a net-work wealthy of functions, connecting different key places of the peninsula. This network can also be seen as a system of paths with various characters and speeds of movement. Different space associates with every speed, of which the priority of the current project is to promote local, slowest kinds of movement (walking, jogging, biking) – this to increase the qual-ity of public and dwelling space. In the condition the heat of suburban sprawl, it is not reasonable to leave the enormous potential of the peninsula unrealized.
