Immeuble Picasso: vue depuis la cour intérieure. « L’immeuble Picasso à Nanterre, héritage de la période dorée des années 80 et de sa programmation cent pour cent tertiaire, incarne le symbole symptomatique d’une époque architecturale révolue. C’est un bâtiment introverti à l’image imposante, déconnecté de son environnement [...] et mal adapté aux usages de ses occupants. » (citation tirée d’une étude des ateliers Kraus). . #Nanterre #France #ImmeublePicasso #92000 #HautsDeSeine #architecture #1980sArchitecture #1990sArchitecture (at Nanterre, France)

Now for something utterly fantastic: a Constructivist-influenced car repair shop designed by Raivo Puusepp, located on Talve street in Kuressaare, the Estonian island of Saaremaa. Designed and built somewhere between the end of 80s and early 90s. Unfortunately, it looks like the building has been abandoned... Still looks authentic though. NB! Notice the red line going across the façade, and the concrete cones! Old photos by unknown, the rest from Google Street View. #arhitektuurimuuseum #arhitektuur #architecture #museumsfromhome #raivopuusepp #architect #utilitarian #saaremaa #kuressaare #constructivism #constructivistarchitecture #postmodernarchitecture #1980sarchitecture #1980s #postmodernism #postmodern #estonianarchitecture #pomo #thetriumphofpostmodernism #carrepairshop #industrial #architecturephotography #architecturalphotography #carrepair #wow #utilitarianarchitecture #youngarchitect #architectureinestonia #architectureinkuressaare #coolarchitecture (at Kuressaare) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_AS_dap_ck/?igshid=1wyt88vco4idc

Väike-Õismäe housing district in Tallinn. View onto a typical standardised apartment block, a design that was the most commonly used in Väike-Õismäe, as well as Lasnamäe, the biggest of the mass housing districts built during Soviet occupation. The circular Väike-Õismäe was masterplanned by Malle Meelak and Mart Port, and built during 1970s and 80s. 1990s photo by unknown. #arhitektuurimuuseum #arhitektuur #architecture #womeninarchitecture #femalearchitect #mallemeelak #estonianarchitecture #architectureinestonia #archidaily #archdaily #architect #chinesewall #archistory #archiporn #architecturalphoto #masshousing #architecturalphotography #tallinn #1980s #1980sarchitecture #väikeõismäe #haabersti #martport #sovmod #cityplanning #sovietmodernism #socialistmodern #failedarchitecture #museumsfromhome (at Väike-Õismäe) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-wveRFJVtj/?igshid=1pn9w97tx1dwp

Remembering Andres Siim (1962--2020). This is the 1988 competition entry for L.A.'s West Coast Gateway, a massive cultural centre in downtown, rising above an 8-lane highway, for which @vilenkunnapu and Ain Padrik together with the young Siim received 2nd prize out of 150 entries. @studio_hani_rashid and @liseannecouture_architect won the competition, but sadly it was never built. The Estonians' entry drew heavily from the region's indigenous mythology and symbolism, incorporating, among other elements, an egg, and a fight between an eagle and a snake in the overall scheme (can you see it?). The late 80s and early 90s was a great time for Estonian architects: works by Künnapu & Co and Leonhard Lapin performed well in international competitions (thanks to Finnish colleagues who shared information and helped a lot with submissions!), and even graced the covers of @casabella and @thearchitecturalreview #arhitektuurimuuseum #arhitektuur #architecture #archdaily #archidaily #archilovers #architexture #archistory #estonianarchitecture #architectureinlosangeles #architectureincalifornia #losangelesarchitecture #downtownlosangeles #mythology #andressiim #1980sarchitecture #1980s #mythological #westcoastgateway #ainpadrik #vilenkünnapu #coolarchitecture #architecturelovers #losangeles #unbuilt #unrealised #unbuiltarchitecture #architecturalsection #california #neoconstructivism (at Downtown Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-KRCJ7prSU/?igshid=i45kpe60rjd

CIBA-Geigy pharmaceutical company in New Jersey, USA. Designed by architect Henry Klumb; structural engineer August Komendant, 1981–1986. Chemistry building, information centre and offices for the international pharmaceutical company. In addition to architectural quality, particular emphasis was put on modern technology, energy efficiency, and noise absorption. Photos: 1) Aerial photograph by J.L.

Remembering Andres Siim (1962--2020), one of the most talented architects who entered the scene in the late 1980s, first as a team member in 1988 with @vilenkunnapu and Ain Padrik, gaining the incredible 2nd prize for their fantastic entry in the competition for the West Coast Gateway in Los Angeles, just behind @studio_hani_rashid... More on that later! But first: Siim's BEAUTIFUL (influence of De Stijl? Russian Constructivists?) 1989 winning design for the Architects' Union building on Apteegi street in Tallinn Old Town. Unfortunately, like many of Siim's winning entries for prolific buildings (most of these with partners Kristel Ausing and Hanno Kreis), it was never realised... Now, surely, wherever he is, he's designing mindblowing stuff with his bestie Hanno Kreis, who sadly passed away already some time ago in 2011... Much ❤ to both Andres' and Hanno's close ones! #arhitektuurimuuseum #arhitektuur #architecture #archdaily #archidaily #archilovers #architexture #archistory #estonianarchitecture #architectureintallinn #architectureinestonia #tallinnarchitecture #tallinnoldtown #destijl #andressiim #1980sarchitecture #1980s #hannokreis #siimjakreis #arhliit #arhitektideliit #coolarchitecture #architecturelovers #tallinn #unbuilt #unrealised #unbuiltarchitecture #facade #constructivism #neoconstructivism (at Tallinn Old Town) https://www.instagram.com/p/B967j6IJhbt/?igshid=yn390y9wjzg0

GUESS THE COUNTRY! :) Kuldne Kodu - the Golden Home - an 800 m long terraced housing ensemble in Pärnu, built in stages from early 70s to 1984 for the employees of Pärnu KEK (Pärnu Construction Company for Collective Farms). One of the definitive masterpieces by architect Toomas Rein. The whole quarter, designed largely by Rein and Ell Väärtnõu, is a must-visit when in Pärnu, a lovely resort town and 'summer capital' of Estonia.

One more 'classic' piece by the great Marika Lõoke - the Estonian SSR Council of Ministers resort in Narva-Jõesuu, standing a short distance from the border of Russia. Now in private ownership with unfortunately no public access. The beautiful building, drawing inspiration from 1930s resort architecture and perhaps also reflecting some New York Five influence was designed in 1976 and completed in 1980.

Virtsu cinema in Lääne county, Estonia. Built in 1982, designed by Marika Lõoke. It's basically a decorated shed à la Venturi & Scott Brown - a corrugated sheet metal hangar with a nice brick facade. The building stands empty today, after an intermediate stint as a sports hall. Photo by Lõoke's long-time partner Jüri Okas. #arhitektuurimuuseum #arhitektuur #architecture #pomo #postmodern #postmodernism #postmodernist #pomoarchitecture #postmodernarchitecture #postmodernistarchitecture #architect #marikalõoke #okasjalõoke #virtsu #virtsukino #läänemaa #architectureinestonia #estonianarchitecture #1980s #1980sarchitecture #1970s #1970sarchitecture #archdaily #domus #architexture #brickarchitecture #decoratedshed #brickfacade #cinema #iamaduck (at Virtsu) https://www.instagram.com/p/B75_o-YJX7i/?igshid=r7eupd7z9lbr
