Europan 7 Riga 1

runner-up

The strategy is to create an urban intervention that is a consistent contemporary system of organization respecting the existing historic context. After careful analyze of the historic urban pattern a new building volume organization is designed that harmonically fits into the existing condition not only as an overall footprint but also as a 3D structure.  Design and program intent is to get a place that is "the event" for this part of the city, having architectural, functional and social importance at different levels.  It includes new areas for cultural, commercial, residential, business, educational and leisure activities.
