Station buildings on the Baltic Railway - Demise and/or Reuse

Just as industrial legacy has experienced loss of function and abandonment due to
deindustrialisation, railway station buildings have gone through a transformation of their own.
While their architectural values have received attention from heritage professionals, their role and
significance in history of localities prove that at least some of the station buildings to be sites of
memory that carry a sense of place. Heritage values are one of the forces that determine whether the
building will be regenerated though adaptive reuse or not. However, resources and ownership often
overrule heritage-driven intensions. While the case of Baltic Railway in whole illustrates the
transformations and current situation of abandoned yet significant built heritage, the research also
focuses on on Keila, Sonda and Vruda stations - one reused, another disused and third demolished
to illustrate physical metamorphosis of station buildings.

Balti Raudtee jaamahooned - kadumine ja/vi taaskasutus

Sarnaselt suure tstuse kadumisega on ka vanad raudteejaamad kaotaund oma esialgse funktsiooni.
Nende hoonete arhitektuursed vrtused on kll leidnud muinsuskaiste theleanu, kuid neil on ka ka
oma roll mbritsevas asulas - vaksalihoone on tihti mlukoht, mis kannab enda selle koha vaimu.
Just prandivrtused on need, miks ks jaamahoone viks saada renoveeritud ja leida uue
kasutuse, kuid neist vrtustest on ks vhe, et kadumise protsess mber lkata. Vaksalite tulevik
sltub sama palju ka omanikust ja muudest resurssidest. Neid muutusi vaatles uurmist Balti
Raudtee nitel, mis hendab Paldiskit, Tallinna ja Narva suure Peterburi linnaga. Kolme vimalikku
stsenaariumi - taaskasutust, thjalt seismist ja lammutamist - illustreerisid Keila, Sonda ja Vruda
jaamahooned.
