Latvian Museum of Contemporary Art Design Competition

The jury admired the team's proposal to begin the development of the museum immediately, by utilising the former Rail Station building, and planting a forest of birch trees across the site. The jury particularly appreciated the optic quality of the building's facade – perforated white concrete with a second filigree layer. It was felt this would create beautiful reflections. The jury commented on the strength of the collaboration between the international and local partners. It was felt ultimately that the interior layout was over-complicated and relied too much on temporary conditions to create flexibility of gallery space.
