Arvo Pärt Centre / Arvo Pärdi Keskuse

The jury looked very positive at the well-balanced and proportioned building overall. This is the case both from the outside and in - on one hand it the room program can offer a certain level of freedom, and on the other - the inner courtyard, being the smallest one-off courtyard within this competition, seems to have been put to good use, being beautifully embraced by the foyer and the exhibition space. Its compact size joins all parts of the building into one space and prevents the fragmentation of the public areas. The jury was uncertain why the facade is mostly closed to the south.
