Spatial Dialogues Between River and Mill

Tallinn is a city of varied landscapes. From the lake Ülemiste which provides the city its water, to the river Pirita as an important ecological asset, and Tallinn Bay that opens the city to the greater Baltic Sea. Various infrastructure and architecture of Tallinn are built to respond to these varied landscapes, forming a tangible dialogue between the landscape and the anthropocene.

This project delves into the exploration of one of these landscapes, albeit intangible today: there was once a river running from the lake to the sea, called the Härjapea. Its history reveals the industrial roots of Tallinn in the past, but it also tells of its eventual demise -- as industrialisation eventually polluted the river and was filled in. Traces of the river only exists in the urban form of Tallinn today, with some residual buildings from its industrial past and some residual landscapes in the form of topography.

Starting with an unused paper mill situated adjacent to the central business quarter of the city teeming with skyscrapers, the project looks into the reintroduction of the river and the reintepretation of its exploitive industrial past. ...

A Historical Ethnographic Study of the Practices, Rituals, and Food Behaviours Surrounding the Domestic Garden in West-Malaysian Households

This relationship is subsequently maintained into the urban-suburban context and reflected in the layouts of housing plans and present-day community gardening projects. ...
