Arvo Pärt Centre / Arvo Pärdi Keskuse

The slightly curved form has a quality of effectiveness and the public side of the building is directly connected to the forest area, but the big volume of the building and extreme linearity of the volume carries a certain anonymity that doesn’t feel right for the institution. The moving inside is very clear and focused towards the auditorium. With the building design more concentrated on the public zones, the jury has found the the arrangement of rooms for the staff is not flexible and concludes with many compromises.
