ESTONIAN SOCIETY FOR YOUNG ARCHITECTURE
VARES leading organization
The society’s goals are to give an input to the quality of Estonian architecture, spatial culture and education. We aim to give additional value and involve various disciplines to the educational landscape of architecture. We take part in discussions regarding our surroundings and we try to build a network to bring different discplines more together. To achieve these goals, we have initiated an architecture oriented residency building in Valga, Estonia.
