a raised walkway weaves tallinn's museum quarter into the urban fabric

"The raised public walkway extends from the ground plane and unfolds across the site as a continuous route, connecting key cultural institutions and establishing a new urban layer."

"Public space is expanded and interwoven with exhibition areas, allowing daily movement through the site to intersect with curated content, reducing the boundary between city and museum."

"The Open Collections Building is conceived as an architecture of continuity, where archive, exhibition, and public realm overlap, making knowledge visible through spatial organization."

"The raised walkway becomes the central element of this approach, transforming movement into a form of engagement with historical content."
