Architecture of Viimsi Artium creates a strong connection with the unique location and the landscape. Artium building is like a bridge - quite literally a bridge from the suburbian stripe into the primeval forest, but also indirectly it bridges wild landscape with contemporary culture and with experience of them both.
The concept is based on - - creating a connection with the landscape and the cliff. - creating synergy and cross-use between different functions and activities
Structure - concrete. Finishing materials - wood, concrete.
