Event Reader
EÜL is very grateful for the support of the European Youth Foundation of the Council of Europe, Estonian National Foundation of Civil Society (Kodanikuühiskonna Sihtkapital), Estonian Ministry of Education and Research, Tallinn University and Tartu Mill. Welcome! Dear Friends from the European student movement, I am most happy to welcome you on behalf of Federation of Estonian Student Unions (EÜL) to the 35th European Students’ Convention (ESC) in Tallinn. EÜL is hosting ESC for the very first time and we have chosen our medieval yet high tech capital as the intriguing venue. The ESC “Inclusive Student Movement” concentrates on the safety and well- being of international students in the society and their inclusion in the student movement. EÜL sees problems with the latter aspects both in Estonia and in Europe at large. Together with globalization the internationalisation of higher education in Europe has increased rapidly. Each year there are more and more students who continue their studies abroad. Unfortunately, different societies are not always welcoming of international people, causing the students to experience discrimination in different forms. Furthermore not all higher education institutions are prepared to offer the necessary support and information needed to make the integration of international students and the overcoming of cultural barriers smooth. In addition, there is also a lack of representation of international students on the local, national and international level in the student bodies. The prior description paints a quite gloomy picture. We see there’s a lot of room for improvement. And there always will be because its like Don Quixote and his fights with the windmills.

Kavakava Architects (Leading Architects: Siiri Vallner, Indrek Peil) Place: Tallinn, Estonia Duration: 01.09.2018 – 28.02.2019
Internship Report Master’s program in Architecture Internship title: Architect intern Company: Kavakava Architects (leading architects: Siiri Vallner, Indrek Peil) Place: Tallinn, Estonia Duration: 01.09.2018 – 28.02.2019 Tasks During 6 months, I have participated various works with different focuses and scales. I involved in the whole process of two architectural competitions, which took around 3 months in total. One competition was Viimsi Young Talent School. It’s a school project that we proposed a solution of integrating architecture and local topography. I helped developing site plan schemes, volume study with physical models and also the drawings of final submissions. We won the first prize for the competition. After getting the contract, my main task was to develop detail design for the school project. For example, I helped developing two concert halls in the project with the consult of acoustic engineers, also had to consider the topic of multifunction and seating types. Also, I helped doing renovation design for two cylindrical concrete oil tank that are part of the school project. Those old oil tanks are going to be transferred into classrooms with special functions. Another competition was Estonian Environment Ministry and Natural Museum. It is one of the biggest and most significant architecture competitions in Estonia in recent years. This competition was of bigger scale with a specific topic on environmental sustainability, as it was described in the competition brief that the buildings should be done mainly with wooden structure and fulfill near zero energy house standard. My tasks were developing the wooden structure and building façades.

Rick Steves' Europe Through the Back Door Newsletter
This 80-page booklet was written in January, February, and March of 1993 and published as a Rick Steves' Europe Through the Back Door newsletter. I researched and wrote all the material except for the Moscow chapter, where Mike Evans did the footwork and writing. I edited the booklet in Moscow and sent it to Seattle for production and layout. Looking at the booklet eleven years later what is most interesting to me is that it is a snapshot of the former Soviet Union only a year and a half after its breakdown in the summer of 1991. This was a special time when the rules of social interaction and the ephemera of daily life were changing fast. I don't have any delusions that this booklet is a historical document of any great value but I am putting it up for free distribution on the web in hopes that it might give some pleasure to someone who wants to reexperience the spirit of those times. I have lightly edited the booklet's format for this web version and updated the fonts. The Cyrillic characters included in the original could not be preserved. The maps, and (unfortunately) the sample train ticket originally printed with the booklet are also not included. Please note that this book is still under copyright and any for-profit distribution is expressly prohibited.

Exhibition Catalogue
PRESENT TENSE Group exhibition 15/11 — 15/2 Kalmar konstmuseum PRESENT TENSE 15/11 2014 — 15/2 2015 Participants: Daria Melnikova (LAT) Egle Budvytyte (LTU) Eléonore de Montesquiou (EST) Flo Kasearu, Aet Ader, Andra Aaloe, Grete Soosalu (EST) Johnson and Johnson (EST) Juozas Laivys (LTU) Jüri Okas (EST) Kostas Bogdanas (LTU) Marge Monko (EST) Ronja Yu (SE) Curators: Marianna Garin (SE), Andres Kurg (EST) FOREWORD Present Tense is Kalmar konstmuseum’s first exhibition with artists from all three Baltic countries, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. As countries they differ from each other in many ways, but they share a common and dramatic history. Most recently, the liberation from the Soviet Union in the early 90s has become part of this common history. Present Tense focuses on artists that relate to how cities have changed, in light of these historical changes. Some works also illustrate liberation before the liberation, i.e. works that demonstrate alternative ways to relate to their environment, beyond the given political conditions under communism. Today, we basically share the same conditions with the Bal- tic countries, in terms of economic rules of the game and a European identity. We wrestle with the same consequences, driven by the liberal market economy and globalization, where the service sector and manufacturing industries are moving to countries in which production is currently the cheapest. The Swedish textile industry, for example, has long left Estonia for cheaper production in Southeast Asia. These changes also leave traces in how the cities are and how they develop. The everyday conditions of people change with a furious pace and we are all, in some way, part of the process without having any real ability to influence its outcome.

SIIRI VALLNER Women and Architecture 2013 Honorable Mention KAVAKAVA
arcVisionarcVision Prize Prize – Women and architecture SIIRI VALLNER Women and architecture 2013 Honorable mention KAVAKAVA . TALLIN, ESTONIA Siiri Vallner is one of the young fresh contestants who has caught the Jury’s attention. Dividing her work between two architectural practices, including the all women practice, KAVAKAVA, Siiri Vallner has completed structures for schools, sports and cultural activities which have become recognizable landmarks in Estonia’s new architectural scene. The jury felt that her Downtown Gym embodied sensitive interpretation of the site as well as contributing to the immediate surroundings. Both the ground works and the elevation relating to the existing building draws the outdoor space into the interior of the gymnasium space. The gymnasium is sensitively wrapped in an inventive and crafted brick wall. The Jury believes Vallner deserves special mention as this multi-purpose work successfully brings out clarity, simplicity, flexibility and courage while it harmonizes with its natural surroundings and the neighborhood. It is both flexible and courageous in blending the old and the new: Vallner’s work exhibits many of the qualities we want to encourage in the built environment. BIOGRAPHY Siiri Vallner (born in 1972) set up her own practice after studying architecture and urban planning in Estonia, Denmark and the US. She has carried out a broad array of works, mostly public buildings. Recently she has been working on different social projects – short-term accommodation for temporarily homeless people in Tallinn, foster homes in Kuressaare and a public sauna in Tallinn. Siiri Vallner has won many awards including the first Estonian Young Architect Award in 2009.
