Tallinn's City Property Chief: Cooperation with Architects is Good, but Client Role is Key

Oliver Eglit, head of Tallinn's City Property Office, views cooperation between the city and architects positively. However, he emphasises that the quality of projects depends first and foremost on how well the city can define its needs as a client.

According to Oliver Eglit, head of Tallinn's City Property Office, cooperation between the capital and architects is functional and mutually productive. He says architects are invaluable partners for the city in implementing various projects.

However, Eglit noted that the final quality of projects does not depend solely on architects' expertise, what is equally important is how well the city itself, as a client, is able to clearly articulate its wishes and needs. Essentially, this means that the more precise the brief, the better the results.
