Sketching Riga: Study area Vec Riga, Andrejsala and Petersala

In order to communicate my graduation project to a Dutch audience who are unknown with Riga I made a sketch of the area, and will illustrate with photo's the important buildings, public spaces and atmospheres.

Overview Sketch:

My graduation project is located north of the old center, Vec Riga


Detail Sketch Vec Riga:


The Old Center has a beautiful embankment, but the center is cut of to it by a busy wide road

Once you managed to get to the boulevard from the innercity the view is splendid!

The embankment and boulevard stop abrubtly north of the Vansu Bridge, a small path runs up north to port Andrejsala


Detail Sketch Andrejsala:


Arial photo of port Andrejsala and it's typical industrial buildings
