Olev Siinmaa was the city architect of Pärnu for almost 20 years before the Second World War. He is famous for his functionalist architecture, like the Pärnu Mud Baths, Rannahotell Hotel, and the beach café. The memorial, in which Siinmaa is about 40 years old, resting on a park bench, is located on the slope of Pärnu Vallikäär, in front of his former home.
