Building of Dwelling Houses in EstoniaNot wanting to analyze the building of dwelling houses in Estonia inefficientlyand seemingly scientifically (where would I have got competent statistics from),I simply try to express the thoughts which are connected with that topicssomehow and have come into my mind. What kind of scientific analytic thinking it couldbe or who should make it, if even the architectural critics seem non to managewith the simplest things. That reminds me an article in the EE some time ago nigh a Finnish lady (naturally in Finland) completing or taking her doctorsdegree. She was examining Finnish post-war modern house, its morphology, thestructure of the Finnish family, the connections between them and makingconclusions which extend to this day. Those observations approximately architecture weremuch more smarter than those that the most of self-confident architects could do.Unfortunately it has to be confessed that I dont remember such a research workor sentiments in Estonian science, but no doubt, they could be necessary. Thetypology of the houses used by most of the architects goes back to the livingmodel of the middle class at the end of the nineteenth century. That model wasidealized and carried on through a hundred of years up to the end of thiscentury. No doubt that our living style is changing reiterate banalitiesparadigm changes as well as the composition and make-up of the family. Therewas a news in a newspaper about Estonia which declared that 50 % of the childrenare illegitimate (it is possible, of course, that some parents live togetherwithout getting married officially) and 12,5 % of the born children know nothingabout their fathers. The living with grandparents is not so democratic any more.(As to the models of living it is worth of observing what has happened in North-America though some europercentage followers dont accept that it may happenthat we will be on the same development level soon. In that country the grown-upc hildren dont want to live with their fathers and mothers, at leaststatistically). Even such an every day activity as cooking is changingessentially. An apartment or house is not a small production unit with itsstorages, kitchen and dining room any more. The kitchen can be as presentable asthe dining room, also the furniture and the quality of the activities, they canbecome more melted. There are some theorists who admit that not only eating butwashing procedures as well will leave the house to so-called town-social level.
