The workshop started with several introductory lectures and walking tours in order to get famillar with Tallinn and in particular with the large housing district of Lasnamäe which with more than 110,000 inhabitants seems to be a city itself. Thanks to Ann Kristiin Entsone we learned about the strategies of the municipality Polina Ljaandševa and Anton Kuunal presented insights of the activities of the NGO „LasnaIdee“, discussed the challenges with us and guided us through a neighborhood tour. Students started to work in teams, focusing on different topics, such as first-floor usages, possible infills, bio- and social diversity, and others.
Scenarios
During the first days of the workshop scenarios were elaborated by the students as first approach to possible futures of Kuristiku.
