Kadriorg Stadium Grandstand in Tallinn. Architect Elmar Lohk, structural engineer August Komendant, built in 1936–1938. The grandstand at Estonia’s premier stadium is a symbol of local sporting life, a great architectural achievement, daring in both form and structure. Elmar Lohk followed developments in world architecture, and the building has a strong affinity with the architecture of the Helsinki Olympic Stadium (by Yrjö Lindgren and Toivo Jäntti, 1934–1938). The grandstand is comprised of 26 parallel reinforced concrete frames, of which the 12 middle ones support the 12.8 m cantilevered roof. The roof plate is 12 cm thick. The grandstand is 112.3 m long and initially had 3,500 seats, of which 2,000 were under the roof. If you still haven't visited the great Komendant exhibition "Miracles in Concrete" at our museum, don't worry, after all the COVID-19 craze is over, we will likely extend the opening period of the exhibition! :) Stay safe, folks! ❤❤ Photo: Martin Siplane © Museum of Estonian Architecture #arhitektuurimuuseum #arhitektuur #architecture #engineering #elmarlohk #augustkomendant #estonianarchitecture #tallinnarchitecture #architectureintallinn #kadriorg #kadriorustaadion #jalgpall #insener #miraclesinconcrete #concretearchitecture #concreteengineering #sportsarchitecture #stadium #1930s #1930sarchitecture #archistory #architexture #archilovers #archdaily #archidaily #exhibition #architecturalphotography #cantilever #cantilevered #grandstand (at Kadriorg Stadium) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9t6nfnp250/?igshid=1oopz9f6he11v
