Fool's Land
A tribute to individuality in home design
In direct response to 90’s private home design in the Baltic states, Fool’s Land aims to reframe the meaning of individuality and personalisation in large-scale residential developments. Located in Paljassaare, an industrial site on the northern peninsula of Tallinn, the project situates itself via adaptive reuse of a 1960’s harbor production complex with the aim of continuing the architectural ambition of early post-independence.

This thesis explores the evolvement of perception surrounding architectural ugliness in post-Soviet Lithuania, focusing on residential houses that emerged in the 1990s, also known as Collective Farm Baroque. Initially criticized for their stylistic eclecticism and out-of-scale size these homes have come to symbolize transition and independence. Through a combination of analysis methods, the research examines how regarded architecture has been depicted in various online media. The shift from formal critique to relaxed commentary has broadened the perspective and introduced a new narrative regarding the notion of ugliness. Drawing on theoretical framework of various philosophers and critics, this thesis argues that ugliness in architecture transcends fixed definitions and functions as a social construct within a constantly changing cultural context.
