Roosi Mantee, path on the way to the ERM, Tartu
The competition to rebuilt the National Museum of Estonia was launched in 2005. It was won by the French architects Dorell, Ghotmeh & Tane with their project Memory Field. The museum re-opened in October 2016. The architects refused the denial of the soviet history and placed the main building on the end of an old soviet runway - as a clear sign of re-appropriation. The surroundings are still being changed, especially with the work of Kino Lanscapes Architects. The path of Roosi Mantee is part of these changes, allowing a zigzag walk across the old soviet barbed fences.

The Estonian national museum in Tartu. The design of the building is the result of a competition held in 2005 and won by a multinational trio of young architects, the Italian-Israeli Dan Dorell, the French-Lebanese Lina Ghotmeh and the Japanese Tsuyoshi Tane, who were working in the London offices of David Adjaye and Norman Foster. DGT (as the three called themselves once they became an architectural practice) selected a location at the end of the old runway. For the architects it was important not to erase the past – that as Dorell says, the museum could be “mature enough to get over the trauma”.

Estonian National Museum (DGT Architects)
It is unusual to put a museum at the end of a runway, still more if it also straddles a chain of ornamental lakes, but then the Estonian National Museum is not a usual sort of institution.
Its location, according to the usual logic of maximising visitor numbers, is near-suicidal. It is not in the capital Tallinn but 190km away in the second city, Tartu (population 100,000), and not precisely there either but a 2km journey through sometimes brutal weather from the centre.
The design of the building is the result of a competition held in 2005 and won by a multinational trio of young architects, the Italian-Israeli Dan Dorell, the French-Lebanese Lina Ghotmeh and the Japanese Tsuyoshi Tane, who were working in the London offices of David Adjaye and Norman Foster and sacrificing sleep and leisure to work on their entry in their spare time. DGT (as the three called themselves once they became an architectural practice) selected a location at the end of the old soviet military runway.
