Appreciation towards KAVAKAVA for providing the following description:

建于旧城遗址上的新大学同时记录了旧城的消逝与重建。

背景：Narva是俄罗斯和爱沙尼亚共和国的边境城市。17世纪，处在瑞典统治之下的Narva达到了其鼎盛时期，发展了具有巴洛克风格的新城市中心。二战期间，旧城被破坏殆尽，战争结束后，一个现代化城市在被摧毁的废墟上冉冉升起。当时，战争刚刚结束，Narva的本地民众被阻止进入城内，而迎来了一批从前苏联来的新居民。

- New university built into destroyed old town area records both the absence of the Old Town and it’s rebuilding.

Context

Narva is a border city between Russia and Estonia. Prosperity of the city was in 17th century, when under the Swedish reign new baroque-style citycenter was developed. The Old Town was destroyed during WWII and after when it was demolished and replaced with modernist city. After the war local people were not allowed to return to the city, new habitants were brought in from Soviet Union.

位置

大学建在Narva的旧城遗址上，其主立面朝向市政广场。建筑体前的广场以前是证劵大楼所在地，现在成为通往大学的主入口。

Site

The college is built on the area of Narva’s no longer existent Old Town with the main façade opening towards the Town Hall Square. In front of the building is a square, marking the site of the former stock exchange building and creating main entrance to the college.

主要的设计理念是清晰地留出原证劵大楼体量的位置。新建筑包括两个概念部分—一是“重建”的虚拟证劵大楼，另一个则是实体的大学建筑。旧证劵大楼笔直地耸立在城市中央，有一部分甚至掩盖了市政厅的主立面。新的设计方案精确地保留了证劵大楼的位置，但用概念性的空间取代了前实体建筑，让市政厅在广场上独领风骚。

Concept

Main idea is to clearly mark the historical volume of the stock exchange building. New building consists of two conceptual halves – first half is the stock building reconstructed as a void and another half is a material building, new college itself.

The old Stock Exchange Building was situated straight in the centre of the town and covered partly even Town Hall’s main facade. New solution records exactly the situation but replaces former mass by conceptual void and allows the Town Hall to dominate on the Square.

建筑新建筑的设计直接参考了前证劵大楼的风格。喜庆的白色混凝土主立面与证劵大楼巴洛克风格的正立面相对着两相呼应；向上突出的射线状鸟嘴形屋顶与证劵大楼人字形屋顶形成对比。大学建筑前的证劵大楼旧址成为了新的广场。带有“颠倒”屋顶的新楼立面勾勒出证劵大楼曾经的轮廓。

Building

New building refers directly to the Stock Exchange Building that stood there before. The previous building’s Baroque front elevation is marked by“in reverse” form on the College’s new festive main facade, which is cast in white concrete. Its projecting beak-shaped roof follows the gable line and roof of the Stock Exchange Building in reverse. As a result, new square is formed in front of the College i.e. on the site of the Stock Exchange Building. New main façade with the “reversed” roof draw out the contours of the Stock Exchange Building that used to stand here.
