Kõikudes lammutamise ja mälestise vahel: kolhoosikeskuste arhitektuuri sotsiaalne pärand
Between Demolition and Monument: The Social Legacy of the Architecture of Collective Farm Centres

Summary/Abstract: This article concentrates on the role of social and spatial processes that influence how architectural sites of the past are deemed part of cultural heritage. It focuses on the contested architecture of collective farms (kolkhozes) in post-Soviet Estonia. By analysing power relations, spatial ordering and ways of relating to the past, it demonstrates the complex negotiations that are involved in heritagisation processes. These complicated processes are illustrated by analysing three case studies: the Lümanda House in Saaremaa, the Piilupesa kindergarten in Viimsi (Haabneeme) and the Laekvere community centre in Lääne-Virumaa.
