In 1997, a revitalization of the electronics industry occurred at the Narva maantee, Jõe, Ahtri and Parda street area between them, earning the building a cultural capital year award for its architects. Architect and heritage preservationist Henry Kuningas notes that the history of this quarter is closely tied to that of RET, or the Radio-Electronics Factory, one of Estonia’s leading electronics companies. Located on the corner of Narva maantee and Jõe street, the building features a striking facade covered in a mesh and previously served as temporary space for the national library. Before that, it housed several banks. Topics: #narva #maantee #aegruum Post navigation AEGRUUM ⟩ How a radio factory became a bank building AEGRUUM ⟩ How a radio factory became a bank building
