Klaasipuhumine Eesti klaasipealinnas Järvakandis

Rapla central square
2018. Rapla’s central square, opened in 2007, is part of the “EV 100” programme, which has resulted in central squares in several other Estonian cities besides Rapla. The central square is covered with concrete slabs on a level surface and features a flag field, a colourful fountain, cycle parking, a playground, seating areas and landscaping.
There is a cosy café called “Hollivuud Lounge” on the central square, and on Thursdays there is an “OTT” (producer-to-consumer) fair.
Octa Centrum
1977. Completed in 2005, the KEK building stands as a monument to Soviet-era architecture. The building resembles a landed UFO.
Interesting to know:
- Everything in the building is octagonal – the floor plan and even the bins.
- The octagonal pond, which appears to be a spatial reflection of the house, is effective.
- The architects of the building are Toomas Rein and Aulo Padar.
- During the Soviet era, people from all over the Soviet Union visited the special building.
