Idea
A NEW PUBLIC SPACE — Traditionally, the square in front of a town hall has always been the main gathering space for the public in any city. Typically, the relationship is: public outside and politicians inside.
A NEW PUBLIC SPACE — In this new urban context, BIG proposes to hover the town hall, liberating the ground for the people to engage with each other and their public servants.
"The town hall is not only surrounded by public space - but literally used by the citizens in the form of the public service marketplace beneath the canopy of the public offices, where the citizens of Tallinn can meet their public servants."Jakob Lange - Partner, BIG
