Contemporary architecture in Riga and Jurmala in hundred pictures. I especcially also show the many small projects, mainly infill in the existing city. All together they form more built mass then the icon projects like the one I start with. This is called Citadel and is located in the north of the old city, Vecriga. The area used to be a citadel and afterwards became a place to put big office blocks in the modernist way. Nowadays it's mediaviel atmosphere is mainly destroyed, it's cut of to the medieval center by a big citystreet, Valdemara. It seems the best solution for this piece of the center is to build many qualitative contemporary architectural projects here and try to bring a new structure into the area uniting the loose projects.
Now a small overview of Jurmala projects. The nice landscape project for a park with belvedere next to the sea and a elite appartment project in between the park and the sea.
Now back to Riga starting with the Skanstes area, then going more into the Centr rayon.
