The exhibition on August Komendant (1906-1992) at the Museum of Estonian Architecture presented the work of the renowned Estonian-American structural engineer and his collaborations with famous architects over five decades. His career spanned from the 1930s to the 1980s – an era characterized by modernization, urbanization, and technological development.

The exhibition was structured as an archive, with the display proceeding in chronological order from his Estonian period to his Venezuela project. The central spatial elements were six tables, approximately 10 meters long, on which drawings, sketches, photos, and models were displayed. The design of the tables – folded honeycomb cardboard modules – alluded to Komendant's engineering philosophy: to use material skillfully and honestly, especially concrete.

Visitors moved as if through paper beams, which helped to highlight projects from different eras within the space. At the same time, Komendant's personal background was also emphasized – a biographical wall at the back of the hall displayed his documents, books, photos, and awards, bringing out his human dimension.

The exhibition took into account the unique architecture of the museum hall – its high ceilings and load-bearing steel trusses, which were consciously integrated into the design language and became part of the whole.

The exhibition was open at the Museum of Estonian Architecture in the Rotermann Salt Storage from January 10, 2020, to July 26, 2020.
