Latvian Museum of Contemporary Art Design Competition

The design was considered to be functionally well-argued and informed by a genuine knowledge of artists’ needs. The layouts achieved a highly economic configuration of useable space. The gallery spaces were well-designed and convincing, and the team's extensive experience of designing museums and galleries was evident throughout the proposal. The garden was seen as a delightful addition (the jury praised its integration with the museum, in particular the dispersion of art throughout the park), but felt that the museum was ultimately isolated and insular.
