Raine Karp
Raine Karp is one of the most prominent architects of the 20th century in Estonia, known for his bold and distinctive creations that range from the National Library, which is currently undergoing restoration, to the deteriorating Linnahall with an uncertain future. His work also includes the now-absent Sakala Centre for political education and the former main post office on Narva Road, which has been transformed into a modern business center. However, Karp's early designs for typical residential buildings remain intact and in use, highlighting a unique aspect of his architectural legacy that is not threatened by demolition.
