The main prize, architecture \u2013 KUU Arhitektid: Joel Kopli, Koit Ojaliiv, Juhan\u00a0Rohtla and Eik Hermann<\/strong>. Here is the introductory video about the Academy of Arts: More videomaterials on the Academy of Arts: The jury\u2019s comment: \u201eIt\u2019s a good example of how a new concrete building has been\u00a0united with the old concrete buildings. Here we can see concrete constructions of the\u00a0prewar period of the Republic of Estonia, the reinforced concrete frames of the industrial\u00a0and administrative buildings from the Soviet period and our contemporary building. Many\u00a0of the concrete surfaces from different periods are left without covering finishing.\u201d<\/p>\n The jury\u2019s chairman Aadu Kana<\/strong>: \u201eOne of our best examples of Estonian industrial\u00a0architecture and a mixture of rooms from different eras has been united into a dignified,\u00a0yet youthful entity. The concrete here proves to be a remarkable example of a truly\u00a0durable material,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Photo galleries of the awarded entries can be downloaded from here:<\/strong> Special Award for outstanding idea and implementation \u2013 Architectonics in P\u00f6\u00f6rise<\/strong>\u00a0residential district in Tallinn<\/strong>. The jury\u2019s comment: \u201eSculptural structure in the heart of a new residential district reveals\u00a0the engineers\u2019 skills to shape concrete into a slim and artistic form. The thin cross section\u00a0has only been achieved through excellent knowledge of concrete as a building material.\u201d<\/p>\n The jury\u2019s chairman Aadu Kana<\/strong> added: \u201cWe are proud of this challenging tridimensional\u00a0construction.\u201d<\/p>\n Special award for Architecture \u2013 architect Martin Aunin \u2013 Roseni 9\/11 hotel-<\/strong>apartment and office building<\/strong> \u2013 for innovative use of concrete and display of the\u00a0material.<\/p>\n The jury\u2019s comment: \u201eBoth on the facade of the building and in the interior red concrete\u00a0dominates. Red concrete has been used in a variety of ways \u2013 in fine-cut frames with\u00a0monolithic concrete casting, as complex or deep patterned facade and balcony border\u00a0elements and as large-format paving slabs around the house. The red prefabricated wall\u00a0elements are both outer shell elements and three-layer sandwich elements. The West\u00a0Facade has a red concrete balcony system. The semi-circular main staircase in the hotel\u00a0lobby is clean red concrete.”<\/p>\n Aadu Kana<\/strong> emphasizes: \u201cOur special thanks go to architect Martin Aunin, for his keen\u00a0dedication to concrete, he has practiced with concrete in multiple ways and displayed the\u00a0materials high quality.\u201d<\/p>\n The magazine \u201cEhitaja\u201d (\u00c4rip\u00e4ev) Award goes to Haart Ehitus O\u00dc<\/strong> \u2013 for the\u00a0construction of the Memorial to the victims of communism in Tallinn.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Special Award of the Estonian Association of Civil Engineers goes to \u2013 J\u00e4relpinge\u00a0Insenerib\u00fcroo O\u00dc: Aivar-Oskar Saar, Sven Naadel, Martin Meisalu and Priit P\u00e4rn<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 the designer of the Haabersti intersection facilities in Tallinn.<\/p>\n The Concrete Building of the Year Awards has been held for the 19th year.
