Estonian Architecture – The Building of a Nation (The Finnish Building Centre, 1992) by Liivi Künnapu gives an overview of Estonian architecture from the turn of the 20th century to the early 1990s. Estonia re-gained its independence in 1991, and the book was published in 1992. The author Liivi Künnapu is an Estonian architecture historian and curator, and the introduction is by Vilen Künnapu, internationally renowned Estonian architect-artist.
The book introduces to the historical roots of Estonian culture and explores the creative elements in Estonian architecture. The starting points are historicism and Jugendstil; the end point is the plurality of styles in the 1980s and the inspiring prospects of the newly found place on the architectural map of the 1990s.
