TALLINN

Our proposal turns the Open Collections building into a public passage, a place where the city
meets its memory. The museum quarter becomes a continuous landscape — open, accessible and fluid — where movement and heritage flow together.
A lifted public path rises from the ground and unfolds as a quiet journey through Tallinn’s history.
It is not an exhibition but an experience: an open ribbon of city life where the museum steps into the street and the street steps into the museum.
We imagine an architecture of public continuity, where city, archive, and museum overlap.
Knowledge is not hidden but revealed through walking, seeing, and encountering. The elevated path becomes a narrative line, turning circulation into meaning.
By lifting the terrain and linking to Kultuurikatel, we create a new civic topography where history is lived in motion.
Here, cultural memory is not consumed — it is cocreated in shared space.
