Taas on hakatud rääkima, et Eestil oleks vaja uut universaalhalli. Mihkel Raevu tagasivaade pöörab pilgu Õismäe ja Rocca al Mare külje all veerandsada aastat vanaks saanud suurhallile, hoonele oma eluea keskel. Selles liginull-arhitektuuriga sündmustemahutis on toimunud 21. sajandi Eesti suurimad kontserdid, spordivõistlused, laadad, etendused ja galad.

/

There has been renewed talk of the need for a new multi-purpose arena in Estonia. Mihkel Raev’s retrospective turns to the quarter-century-old arena, set between Õismäe and Rocca al Mare, a building now at midlife. This near-zero-architecture event container has hosted the country’s largest concerts, sporting events, fairs, performances, and galas of the 21st century.

🔗Designing and building with reclaimed materials is a venture that requires a fair amount of perseverance from both architects and builders. Helena Männa and Elina Liiva spoke with Urmo Mets, one of the architects behind the newly completed Lasnamäe Circular Economy Centre, about how the old wooden floor of Tallinn Prison, silicate bricks collected from across Estonia, and various other reclaimed materials found their way into a new building shaped by a circular mindset.

🪜Vanamaterjalist projekteerimine ja ehitamine nõuab nii arhitektilt kui ka ehitajalt omajagu
visadust, et üritusele truuks jääda. Helena Männa ja Elina Liiva vestlesid äsjavalminud
Lasnamäe ringmaja arhitekti Urmo Metsaga sellest, kuidas Tallinna vangla vana puitpõrand, üle Eesti kokku kogutud silikaattellised ja mitmed teised jääkmaterjalid leidsid tee uude, ringse mõtteviisi järgi loodud hoonesse.

🧯Kui tulekahju hoonest üle käib, paljastub uus tahk selle ainelises olemuses. Maja minetab oma funktsiooni elupaigana ning muutub pelgalt materjaliks. Isiklikule kogemusele toetudes uurib Laura Pormeister, mis juhtub erinevate materjalidega, kui need tuleroaks saavad. Kas materjali tulekindlus seisneb eelkõige selles, et ta ei sütti, või hoopis võimes säilitada oma identiteet ja kasutatavus ka pärast põlengut?

🔥When fire passes through a building, it lays bare a new facet of its material essence. The house ceases to function as a home and appears before us as mere material. Drawing on personal experience, Laura Pormeister examines what happens to different materials when they are consumed by fire. Is a material truly fire resistant because it does not burn, or because it retains its identity and usefulness even after the blaze?

🫧Kasvujärgne linnaplaneerimine, nutikas kahanemine, mittetootlik praktika, ressursimetabolism ja tugev jätkusuutlikkus.

Emel Tuupaineni essee tutvustab kasvujärgse majandusteooria põhimõtteid ja mõisteid, otsides viise, kuidas kujundada õiglasemat ja ökoloogiliselt tasakaalukamat maailma.
🍩Post-growth urban planning, smart shrinking, non-extractive practice, resource metabolism and strong sustainability.
