Oh well, time to open the first chapter of this cities development!

Pärnu is a city on the Baltic Sea coast of Pärnu Bay, in southwestern Estonia. It is a popular summer vacation resort with many hotels, restaurants, and large beaches. The Pärnu River flows through the city.
Pärnu was founded in 1251 by the Teutonic Knights, who began building an Ordensburg nearby in 1265. The town, then known by the German name of Pernau, was a participant of the Hanseatic League and was an important ice-free harbor for Livonia. Sweden took control of town during the 16th century Livonian War, but was taken by the Russian Empire in the 1721 Treaty of Nystad following the Great Northern War.

Lala.
Its the fifth Largest city in Estonia with an astonishing 50 000 pop!

OKay the reason why i Bothered to make this thread is because the results for the archtecture competition for an area in the centre (well its developing) have been announced and the winning project is quite nice

The winning project - "Flood" by italian architects Francesco De Luca, Paolo Gori, Romolo Nati,Mauro Olevano,Kerttu Koll, Antonio Capasso, Giuliana Mancinelli Bonafaccia ja Helen Soovali. ( i think Helen Soovali isnt italian

)

calls for:
Extension of current Shopping centre "port Artur"
and addition of new 70 000sqm Shopping/Entertainment centre, which will contain offices, shops, restaurants, night clubs etc. Half of the 3,4 HA plot has to be dedicated for the promenade (its situated at the riverside), public space etc

Hey ch1le, nice thread!

But seriously though, Pärnu is the place where Henri, my friend of Estonian origin has his family's cottage. Maybe you could share some pics of the town, if you have any?

Anyways, great building, though I'm not too crazy about the tower part. The low-rise part is much nicer. I still don't get why Finnish towns (except for Jyväskylä

) don't construct as nice buildings as you guys.

Good news for Pärnu

I think it's now time for smaller Baltic cities to develope and refresh their architectural looks as all capitals have done already remarkable things (and still with soo much more to come!). I see in news lately also that Latvian smaller cities are starting to approve some important construction projects as well.

Good question.

We have not seen any updates from Tallinn for a long time already. Was it conquered by Parnu?

This project for Parnu is very impressive. Such a small city builds such big complex.

Gatis · October 30th, 2006, 10:02 AM

THis is impressive project for sure. Would love to see it done.

Enoch Root · October 30th, 2006, 02:01 PM

Yes, unfortunately there's very little new going on in Tallinn, maybe except the harbour area, and of course Tornimäe should be completed in few months. So it's good to have something new about other cities, even Pärnu

ch1le · October 30th, 2006, 04:23 PM

/\alot is going on, but nothing major and new has started construction in the last couple of months.

Rebasepoiss · July 27th, 2007, 11:08 AM

CHECK IT OUT, GUYS!!! 25-storeys/80 metres:

It should be built with 3 years.

Nõgesh · July 27th, 2007, 11:11 AM

f**k sorry

ch1le · July 27th, 2007, 12:25 PM

ristov · July 27th, 2007, 01:04 PM

this is crazy

Jarmo K · July 27th, 2007, 01:31 PM

^imagine a hot girl wearing stockings like that... wooooow...

Rebasepoiss · July 27th, 2007, 02:22 PM

^Some people have said that it looks like these legs belong to someone who needs to pee.

Jarmo K · July 27th, 2007, 02:37 PM

^i totally share that opinion

but otherwise this building rocks! i really, for some reason, believe this is good contemporary (expressive?

) architecture!

Nõgesh · July 28th, 2007, 12:03 PM

i don't know about the design, but hey, atleast it's a highrise

Moolio · July 28th, 2007, 02:09 PM

Looks kinda like two cigarette buts. Wouldn't mind seeing it built though.

Nomels · July 30th, 2007, 04:58 PM

Somewhat similar to the Z-Towers in Riga http://www.vertikalapasaule.lv/
I like it a lot

Rebasepoiss · August 7th, 2007, 09:19 AM
