Architecture Open Lecture: Ulrika Karlsson
Faculty of Architecture
The second lecturer of the Open Lecture Series this spring semester will be Ulrika Karlsson, stepping on the stage of Kanuti Gildi Saal (Pikk 20, Tallinn) on 22nd of February at 6 pm. Her lecture is titled “Rustic Figurations and Aesthetics Of the Fall”.
Ulrika Karlsson is an architect and founding member servo stockholm and of the newly started architectural design collaborative Brrum. She is a professor of architecture at KTH School of Architecture, with a focus on digital methods and tools. Karlsson is also a professor at Konstfack – University College of Arts, Craft and Design. She has been a visiting faculty at Bartlett, UCL, London, teaching Urban Design. Karlsson has also taught at UCLA’s Department of Architecture and Urban Design. She received her Architecture degree from Columbia University and Landscape Architecture degree from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences.
Karlsson has lectured and exhibited internationally and contributed to numerous journals including Perspecta, Via, Arkitektur and AD. She has exhibited at the Venice Architecture Biennale, the Centre Pompidou, ArkDes, SFMoMA, the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, the Wexner Center for the Arts, MoMA/QNS, Artists Space, the MAK Center for Art and Architecture, and the Storefront for Art and Architecture. servo’s work is part of the permanent collections of SFMoMA and the FRAC Centre.
Engaging a playful use of technology and material experimentation, her practice has a specific interest in the role of architectural representations and their translations, where we sometimes encounter the conflation of material and information. A current project with Brrum includes “And or not”, a proposal for a public artwork for the planned new park, Norrastationsparen in Hagastaden, Stockholm, which will be finished 2021.
The Open Lecture Series brings to Tallinn a number of exciting architects, urban planners, academics from across the world. All Open Lectures are free of charge, in English, take place every fortnight, and are open to everyone – for both students and professionals of the field, general audience and students considering architecture for their further studies.
The architecture and urban planning department of the Estonian Academy of Arts has been curating the Open Lectures on Architecture series since 2012 – each year, a dozen architects, urbanists, both practicing as well as academics, introduce their work and field of research to the audience in Tallinn. All lectures are in English, free and open to all interested, drawing an audience of students as well as professionals and academics from the fields of architecture, design, engineering but also fine arts. The series is funded by the Estonian Cultural Endowment.

Interior Architecture dept Morning Coffee event vol 4
Making Space
1st of February Thursday, will start bright and early at 9AM with the next Morning Coffee event, where students and graduates from our department will come and share their experiences from studying, working or doing an apprenticeship somewhere else in the world – through the spectrum of space and spatial design. On the stage this time: experiences and views of the world, learning and spatial design: Amr Gamal Mohamed Aladl Elshaaer from EGYPT and Ahmad Hussein from JORDAN!
Also: this Morning Coffee event will be in English, spread the news so it reaches every EKA Erasmus student!
This event is perfect for students and those wanting to become a student, but also tutors; our Nunne St door is also open to anyone from other EKA departments or other schools. The interior architecture department Morning Coffee events take place every first Thursday of the month. The event is worthy of its name: there will most definitely also be coffee – and upon occasion, there has been also delicious cake (for the cake, you might want to bring a tiny bit of cash)
Set your alarm clocks, join us!
Location: Interior Architecture department, Nunne 16, Tallinn

Open Lecture Series: Yael Raisner on the troubled relationship of Architecture and Beauty
Faculty of Architecture
The first lecturer of the Open Lecture Series this spring semester will be Yael Reisner, stepping on the stage of Kanuti Gildi Saal (Pikk 20, Tallinn) on 8th of February at 6 pm. Her lecture is titled “Beauty Does Matter – The Cultural Bias, The Enigma and The Timely Pursuit of New Beauties in Architecture”.
In 2010, Reisner – with design writer Fleur Watson – published a book of interviews with more than a dozen architects, titled “Architecture and Beauty, Conversation With Architects About A Troubled Relationship”. In the book, Reisner talked with the architects about their relationship to beauty, the relationship of architecture and beauty being one that whole generations of architects have tried to avoid. The questions of architecture and aesthetics, or more widely culture and aesthetics were also explored in Reisner’s PhD (RMIT, 2009) and will be the focus of her lecture in Tallinn. Why don’t architects like to talk about beauty?
Born in Tel Aviv, Reisner has lived in London since 1990. She has a PhD in architecture (by design) from RMIT Melbourne, Australia, a Diploma from the Architectural Association in London (including RIBA part 1 and part 2, and a BSc in Biology from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. In 2004, she founded the Yael Reisner Studio, an architectural research-lead practice.

On Monday, 4 December at 4 pm there will be an artist talk by American Estonian artist Kristina Paabus who will discuss her creative practice and research, as well as the role of print within her work and contemporary discourse.
Kristina Paabus is a multidisciplinary visual artist with a focus in printmaking. Kristina’s work investigates systems and strategies that we use to perceive, control, and negotiate our surroundings. She examines tools such as language, architecture, internet, government, and beliefs to expose our constant yet sometimes futile attempts at structure. By exploring the pursuit, successes, fractures, and failures within our individual and shared rules, she questions the factual and fictional constructions that we employ to interact with the world around us. |

She also studied Fine Arts and Religious Studies at University of Massachusetts-Amherst, and Printmaking at the Estonian Academy of Arts. Kristina has exhibited her work throughout the US and Europe, with recent exhibitions including NEO Geo at the Akron Art Museum (OH) and Belt and Road at the National Gallery (Bulgaria). Paabus is the recipient of a Fulbright Fellowship for Installation Art in Estonia, the Grant Wood Fellowship in Printmaking at the University of Iowa, and the Southern Graphics Council International Guanlan Residency Award. Kristina has attended numerous artist residences such as Women’s Studio Workshop (NY), ACRE (WI), Ox-Bow (MI), Kimmel Harding Nelson (NE), Lillstreet (IL), Emmanuel College (MA), Culture Factory Polymer (Estonia), SÍM (Iceland), Inside Zone (Romania), Muhu A.I.

Open Lecture: MANJA VAN DE WORP on 30th November
Architecture and Urban Design
Pulp Pavilion, built for the 2015 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in the California desert, using reclaimed paper.
Manja Van de Worp: “New Engineering typologies: not a hybrid – just new”
The penultimate lecturer of the Open Lecture Series this semester will be architect and engineer MANJA VAN DE WORP, director of YIP Structural Engineering London (formerly, NOUS Engineering), who will be stepping on the stage of Kanuti Gildi SAAL (Pikk 20, Tallinn) on the 30th of November at 6 pm. The lecture, as usual, is in English and free for everyone. Van de Worp’s work is focussed on the future of architectural engineering and she’ll be focussing on the new typologies of engineering in her Tallinn lecture.
Van de Worp holds Master degrees in Architecture, Structural Engineering and in Emergent Technologies and Design. She is a structural engineer with 10 years professional experience in the Construction Industry focusing on Structure, Geometry and Fabrication, while teaching at the RCA, Architectural Association & IAAC. Van de Worp has previously worked for Arup in London in the Advanced Geometry Unit and at the Advanced Technology and Research group, designing structures with a complex geometry and moveable structures.
She also launched NOUS engineering London (now YIP) in 2013 as an engineering consultancy bearing extensive knowledge of advanced structural analysis tools, complex structural systems, materials and fabrication technologies. Their current projects involve a FRP shell and a modular steel roof structure. YIP also focuses on structural product design and research based projects, looking at innovative ways to use timber, 3D printing of concrete, searching how materials not conventionally used in structural design could find their way into building engineering.
Among the largest projects that she has lately been working on is the Leadenhall Building in London, completed in 2014 (project engineer, AT&R Arup; architects: Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners) The 225 m/48-floor Leadenhall Building, also known as the cheese grater, has a steel mega frame, that provides stability to the entire structure and is the worlds tallest of its kind. The ultra lightweight prefabricated floor system allows for a shallow floor and a lighter foundation. Due to footfall, all frames had to be individually designed and the connections developed and tested in collaboration with the contractor.
Currently, van de Worp is focused on the NUS kinetic facade project in Singapore. Designed by architect Joseph Lim, the social housing project has retractable origami façade that forms an external shading device, based on the Momotani folding pattern.

Their current projects involve a FRP shell and a modular steel roof structure. YIP also focuses on structural product design and research based projects, looking at innovative ways to use timber, 3D printing of concrete, searching how materials not conventionally used in structural design could find their way into building engineering.
Among the largest projects that she has lately been working on is the Leadenhall Building in London, completed in 2014 (project engineer, AT&R Arup; architects: Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners) The 225 m/48-floor Leadenhall Building, also known as the cheese grater, has a steel mega frame, that provides stability to the entire structure and is the worlds tallest of its kind. The ultra lightweight prefabricated floor system allows for a shallow floor and a lighter foundation. Due to footfall, all frames had to be individually designed and the connections developed and tested in collaboration with the contractor.
Currently, van de Worp is focused on the NUS kinetic facade project in Singapore. Designed by architect Joseph Lim, the social housing project has retractable origami façade that forms an external shading device, based on the Momotani folding pattern.

The architecture and urban planning department of the Estonian Academy of Arts has been curating the Open Lectures on Architecture series since 2012 – each year, a dozen architects, urbanists, both practicing as well as academics, introduce their work and field of research to the audience in Tallinn. All Open Lectures are free of charge, in English, take place every fortnight, and are open to everyone – for both students and professionals of the field, general audience and students considering architecture for their further studies. The series is funded by the Estonian Cultural Endowment and curated by Sille Pihlak and Siim Tuksam.

Lecture: JOHAN PAJU, Urban Biotopes – a case study of Social Nature in Stockholm
Architecture and Urban Design
At 5.30 pm this Thursday, on the 23rd Nov, everyone’s welcome to the architecture department (Pikk 20, 3rd floor) for lecture “Urban Biotopes – A case study of Social Nature in Stockholm, Sweden” by Stockholm-based architect and landscape architect Johan Paju.
During the last century, we lost track of natural systems in the cityscape. Johan Paju will discuss how to re-introduce a “biotope thinking” into urban landscapes through an understanding of deep structure and landscape ecology. The lecture will focus on Nordic climates, a case study of the “Taklandskapet” (The Roof Top Landscape) of Sveavägen 44 in Stockholm and basic principles of biotope design and practice by URBANGREEN. The lecture will be held in English and open for all.
Johan Paju is one of Sweden’s foremost landscape architects and has previously taught at KTH-A in Stockholm over 15 years in landscape architecture and urban design. 1998, he was one of the founders of NOD -nature oriented design and is now co-owner and Creative Director of Fojab architects, one of Sweden’s largest architectural firms. He has been active all over the world, but with a strong focus on Nordic architecture and process-oriented solutions. He got the Siena Prize in 2015 for the best landscape project in Sweden. Johan Paju has been Chairman of Stockholm’s Architectural Association as well as for the Swedish Association of Architects Academy for Landscape Architecture.
