Abstract
My project is a tourist center located in the Tallinn harbor area. Its functions include tourist guidance, exhibitions, and a bus station. Through this project, I aim to provide tourists with a
deeper understanding and appreciation of the city. Additionally, besides serving tourists, it offers a comfortable public space for the surrounding urban environment, enhancing the connection with nearby areas.
It is designed to be a transitional space within the urban environment and the first impression visitors have of the city. Therefore, I have paid special attention to the connection between the
interior and exterior environments of the building. The center utilizes Estonia's most iconic wood
and recycled limestone, integrating them with the existing limestone walls on the site. My hope is
for it to become a window through which people can learn about the city.
