The presentations included a couple of poems and a play.

Village of hope

The Estonian Association of Architects (EAA) announced an idea competition for urban installations on the green revolution, from which three winning works were selected from 28 received designs.

In cooperation with the Village of hope, LC Tallinn Reval helped find a new use for the 3000 trees on Freedom Square. Within the framework of joint work, the offers arrived in the Village of hope for furnace heating to provide warmth to the residents there in winter.
