what is the point here? does not seem very interesting. perhaps something special with the CW detail?
this project is stopped because of fiancial problems as far as i now.
beside that i am not the biggest friend of littering up the pardaugava side of riga with such a
boring and already seen architecture!
Am I the only one that think this project as a Tiny Toon version of the Petronas Towers?
Anyway, if I am the only one, I still think this looks old and boring and unsophisticated (if that is a word) and… many baaaad things.
That’s all I wanted to say about it
this is far away from looking like petronas tower.. why?.. only because its two linked towers?
You guys are so mean
Riga deservs more!
Exactly! What is this anyway?… At the heart of Riga, awful…
i would like to ask why some of the comments have been deleted? it happened to me for a couple of times already, as well as to some guys too.
Another clone
such a darkest utopia for Baltic states
show me plans please visualizations cannot tell me about your architecture anything :)
