군사시설의 재사용. 전쟁을 위한 공간에서 사람과 시간을 위한 공간으로 헌정.
the estonian national museum both celebrates and pays homage to the country’s history, independence as well as its unique cultural traditions. located in the city of tartu, the brief called a 34,000 sqm building that would successfully house a collection of 140,000 objects.
the vast scheme realized by paris-based firm DGT architects challenged the initial brief by relocating the building from the proposed site to choosing a former soviet military base as the setting for the museum. this approach of adaptive reuse not only represents the history but plays an essential role in the regeneration of the area. using a sensitive implementation of the site, the national museum becomes a continuation of the airfield – its roof lifting and expanding towards ‘infinite space’ – inviting the visitor to enter into the landscape and into the heart of the museum. DGT’s proposal creates an open house for public activities – exhibition, performance, learning – a place of gathering and interaction, bringing people together to celebrate a rich and deep-rooted history.
