Latvian Museum of Contemporary Art Design Competition

The jury recognised the design's strong image, in particularly the beauty of the translucent, white shingle facade, which allowed the influx of natural light during the day and the artificial illumination of the building at night. The design was functionally well-considered, with a sophisticated construction proposal and good use of timber throughout the design. The partnership between the international and Latvian teams was felt to be particularly strong, with clear evidence of collaborative design and engagement.
