A joint team of FPA and local practice Grupa 93 have finished in second place in a prestigious public realm design competition for the transformation of the Castle Square in Riga, Latvia, in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. The square is surrounded by historic buildings, including the presidential residence, and the square has to serve for civic and ceremonial functions as well as day to day uses for the general public. This competition follows our international success for the new urban centre masterplan in 2007, on which work is ongoing.
