Estonia is flatDifferent kind of landscapes.

The location is a farm in Estonia, a rural area surrounded by a river, roads and seemingly endless fields. The buildings and oth-er objects – tools, machines and anything you could use to be a farmer seem to be thrown around on the site. The buildings are of different volumes, proportions and functions. The volumes of the buildings divide the site into different zones that have different functions. Since there is no significant change in the landscape the different zones with different functions and plantations form the change in the scape. The river and roads set mental boundaries to the site. The boaundaries for a small child have a different meaning and are a serious business. All the different areas are connected with footways that create a net around the buildings. The whole set up of objects and buildings seems very functional in a sense that a lot is happening on the site all year round. Many people are using the site for works related to farming the land, taking care of the animals and leisure activities. This is a sentimental obscure place with many layers and uses. Many details are hard to explain from the architectural aspect.

The road approaches the site from west and that is why the river in south is always pictured on the right. That is my subjective way of reading and showing the site.

The location is related to other familiar places that can be 1 km away or as far as 200 km away.

This is where my grandparents lived when I was young. I spent all my summers there playing and growing, learning about the na-ture.

The buildings on the site remind free ob-jects that could move and are placed free-ly and temporarily on the site. The scale proportion and function of the buildings varies.

Two long and narrow Soviet barns, one main building for living, two dog kennels, two playing houses for children, one workshop, one sauna, three additional buildings for hay, animals, tools and fire wood. Unrecord-ed bird houses.Most of the listed buildings do not exist anymore

The most memorable building typology is a long and narrow barn from the Soviet era.

The buildings as objects are hard to ob-serve separately because they are located a bit too close to each other. They are fun-cionally close so that everything you need is in the reach.

Buldings are always in touch with plants both wild and man grown.

The freely placed buildings are surrounded and connected by roads and footways.

The footaways are like a loose net that could easily change over time due to cahnge in the use, location or number of buildings and season. (model of thread)

The area is divided roughly into three zones. The separators can be physical buildings or different functions the land has.

Boundaries for a child are not just lines that have something on the other side. The outside area of boundaries melts into one big forbidden land.

The river flows thrhoug the whole village. Sometimes we used it as a way to get to the shop in the village.

Characteristically to Estonain rivers there is too much vegetation in the river and on the shores. You can access the river only from the two wooden peers.

Grandfather built the wooden peers with my uncle on a summer hotter than usual.

Unlike all the other girls I was not afraid of the slimy plants under water.

Estonia is covered with fields taht would be endless unless cut by a forest on the horizon.

Different land use and cultivation is cre-ating small schanges in the landscape. The whole rural area is like a patchwork of different textures. (model photo)
